| The first speeding law
What is the name of your state? Connecticut
May 21, 1901
First speed limit law is enacted
Connecticut became the first state to enact a speeding-driver law. The State General Assembly passed a bill submitted by Representative Robert Woodruff that stipulated the speed of all motor vehicles should not exceed 12 mph on country highways and eight mph within city limits.
And I’m pretty sure on May 22, 1901, the first driver said “…If I get stopped, I’ll just tell him I have to go to the bathroom!”
