$5 + costs for 24 MPH
Dateline ... Elgin IL:
A police stopwatch timed a motorist going 24 miles per hour on Villa Street. The driver admitted he was going too fast and paid a fine of $5 and costs. The year? 100 years ago ...

Speed traps to catch speeding motorists are probably considered a relatively modern phenomena. However, as early as 1910 the Police were checking the speed of motorists. Detroit motorcycle cop in 1910... A Detroit police officer in 1910 on a Detroit Police Department motorcycle. Detroit's department was an early pioneer in motorization.

:rolleyes: Hi `Cort, Great to see you online and sharing some history with your MonteCarloFamily :D I enjoyed reading our member's responds to your thread : ) (a step back in time : ) I read and seen the same in my SpaceHistory books. https://montecarloforum.com/forum/at...9&d=1282930487 I guess it's true on every `planet :eek::D LOL |
Lol, I play forza3 quite a bit, on the loading screen when it loads the tracks, it shows a readout of some automotive history. I saw on there that the first speeding ticket was given in 1900 for going 45mph through the main road in Denver Colorado.

Its about time they caught that ruffian. Ive telegramed the constables on this matter several times. 24 within the city proper is against both God and country.

I looked up the inflation to convert $5 in 1910 money to today's equivalent. This is copied from http://www.westegg.com/inflation/ I thought it would be an interesting comparison to see the "actual" cost.
What cost $5 in 1910 would cost $113.69 in 2009. |
