His name was Walter Arnold, and in 1896 he was caught speeding in what was ironically enough a car he had created himself, the Arnold Benz.<\/p>\n<p>The speed limit at the time was 2 mph or 3.2 km\/h, and it was mandatory to be preceded by a person waving a red flag to warn passers-by that a \u201ccar\u201d was approaching. Well, Mr. Arnold not only forgot to have a guide in front of his Benz, but he was caught driving around 13 km\/h, 10 times the posted speed at the time<\/p>\n<p>Today, the car would be gone and Walter Arnold would be in prison. In 1896, he instead was hit with a fine of one shilling, or about ten dollars.
