Fun Fact! The first person convicted of speeding was driving at eight miles per hour.
Walter Arnold of the English town of Paddock Wood, Kent, was the first person to be charged for speeding, according to Guinness World Records. On January 28, 1896, Arnold was caught driving four times the speed limit in his 19th-century Benz—but because the speed limit at the time was only two miles per hour, he wasn't travelling too fast by today's standards. The officer had to track him down on his bike, issuing a £4 7s penalty and earning Arnold the swift distinction.
