Just yesterday TNW wrote about the Bloodhound land speed record vehicle that’s trying to break the 1,000 mph (ca. 1,609 km/h) barrier. But have you ever stopped to think about people who were breaking speed limits over a hundred years ago?

As it happens, today marks the 124th anniversary of what is generally regarded as the first speeding ticket issued in Britain, and the driver was going a paltry 8 mph (13 km/h). Yes, about as fast as a good jog.
