Explanation - Walter Arnold made history in 1896 when he became the first person to receive a speeding penalty. He broke the 2 mph speed limit while driving at an amazing 8 mph in Paddock Wood, England. Arnold's offence was caught by a constable on a bicycle and resulted in a fine, marking the beginning of traffic restrictions. This event paved the way for the evolution of traffic rules and, eventually, the adoption of standardised speed limits.
