The first known pedestrian to die from an accident with a motor car in Great Britain was Bridget Driscoll. A witness described the speed of the car as being “very reckless”. The speed? 4 mph. Definitely different now.

The car was heavy, and didn’t have safety features that modern cars do with regards to pedestrians. It also wasn’t in the culture of people to know how I react to cars coming at you, so that could have played a role too
