When Henry Ford began in 1910 to produce cars in a manufacturing assembly line reached very high rates, prices fell and the car became popular. With this came the first road accidents.
The automobile was invented in 1886 by Karl Benz in Mannheim, Germany. At that time, reaching the maximum speed a car was about 20 km. per hour and spent a lot more fuel than is spent now the same speed. Gasoline could only be purchased in pharmacies where there was tough to find available in large quantities. In 1907 the Standard Oil Company of California built the first gas station in Seattle to meet the growing market for fuels. Later, in 1910, Henry Ford started producing cars in an assembly, an extremely innovative system that allowed it to reach production figures hitherto unthinkable.
With that, the car became popular and began the first problems and traffic accidents that we have rescued a few of the historical records available to the memory of these early years. The first accident occurred in 1896 in Ireland when Mary Ward died after falling from a vehicle, steam engine, designed by his cousin. In the UK, the first pedestrian died after being hit by a car with a combustion engine was Bridget Driscoll in 1896, the "high speed" of 7 km per hour.
While police believe was driving Mrs. Metos the car at the time of the accident, she and Ms. Holland stated that a man whose name was unknown who was driving. Police said the accident was the result of a late-night party that began at 1:00 am. When the machine, a car was traveling at high speed in the direction of Virginia hit a wall and fell to the jagged rocks that were below. Three others also were in the car of Mrs. Holland. Two suffered minor injuries while the driver of the machine, whose identity police have not been established, was unhurt.
Noting the pattern of the spokes are chipping the car skidded think one way, because of the snowstorm, and probably hit the pavement broke destroying the wheel spokes.
Mrs. Leola N. King, wife of Captain EH King of the medical corps of the United States was the first female traffic officer in Washington and took over in the corner of Seventh and K streets Northwest. Washington was the first city in the United States to have a female traffic cop.
Henry A. Thayer, chief of the Supply Division of the Office of U.S. veterans and her daughter Lois Virginia Macias, were killed when the sedan they were riding in crossed the guardrail of the bridge on Connecticut Avenue in Washington Klingle, falling 75 meters up the stream that was underneath. The car is a Nash 625 1924.
Two men drowned and saved the driver, McLennan. In the official investigation, the police said they had smelled alcohol on the breath of McLennan. Although McLennan admitted he had taken "a glass of wine" blamed the accident at the wheel was defective. He was charged with manslaughter but eventually was acquitted of all charges. He died on July 7, 1927 as a result of injuries sustained in another accident when his car collided with the detective Arthur T. Fihelly. Once again there were reports of alcohol on his breath after the accident, but the investigation concluded that he had been driving under the influence of alcohol.
Since 1910, prohibits driving under the influence of alcohol in the state of New York and other states soon followed. In 1938, the legal limit of alcohol concentration in blood was 0.15%.
Senator Boies Penrose accident in Washington in 1920. The car in front takes a lamppost, a mailbox and a telephone pole for emergency calls. The tree is being waged by the hair.
Looks like someone hit the windshield and safety glass had not been invented yet and the steering wheel and steering column were quite rigid in that time, it is quite possible that the accident was more serious than one might think, according to the condition of the car.
One car accident is a 1932 Ford Victoria and the other is up halfway on the sidewalk is a 1931 Ford Sedan Town. Washington, 1932.
Traffic monitoring became more sophisticated in November 1954 when police in Sydney first introduced radar equipment to detect vehicles at high speed. The radar picture shows a visible on the back of a police car during testing at the University of Sydney. It took two officers to operate the radar and had a detection screen at the back and a recording speed meter inside the police car. At that time, the speed limit in built up areas was 48km per hour.
