Which meant this is when traffic laws started to be really enforced such as speed limits, traffic signs etc. Cars back then were also made of steel which meant if a crash were to occur the people involved were very likely to die as the cars wouldn't cave in and take most of the impact like they would today.  ]]> 2018-04-09 00:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/19duncant/fi6ra0vo44gd/wish/249603912 19duncant https://padlet.com/19duncant/fi6ra0vo44gd/wish/249608133 Henry Ford was the most well known automobile person in the 20's.
