With no speed limits presumably they had to make the most of what offences there were.

The blanket speed limit of 20 mph introduced in 1903 was repealed in 1930 for light vehicles. Apparently the resulting mayhem & number of deaths caused the government of the day to introduce a 30 mph limit in built up areas commencing on 18 March 1935.
