transport in victorian times

Towards the end of the Victorian period the Horseless carriage (motor car) started appearing on roads.
The very first petrol driven "horseless carriage" appeared in 1865 however, these first cars were rarely seen until the 1880s and 1890s. Only the very wealthy could afford to buy them.
In 1896 the UK's first speeding fine was handed to a Mr Walter Arnold of East Peckham, Kent, who was fined one shilling for speeding at eight miles an hour in a two mile an hour zone in Paddock Wood, in his Karl Benz powered car. Mr Arnold was caught by a policeman who had given chase on his bicycle!
