Part 2 of How Cars Changed Our World.

                                        Look Out - It's A Car!
Soon more people began importing*cars. Others built their own. a lot of people weren't sure about these strange, new machines. Motor cars were fast and smelly and loud. They scared horses - and their owners!
                     The first traffic ticket.
                                    In 1901, Nicholas Oates was caught driving his car over
                                    the speed limit of 6 kilometres an hour along Lincoln
                                    Road in Christchurch. His car scared some horses.
                                    Oates received the first traffic fine in the country.
*Importing:bringing something in from another country.

  1. Wow Jabal! How the speed limits have changed over the many years. I wonder how much money Oates had to pay. Thanks for adding the meaning for importing too.

    Well Done.
