Abstract:

No vehicle that travels faster than foot traffic should be considered benign on a public road, although the proponents of all have made their best efforts to convince people otherwise, usually with great success to create lasting paradigms. This paper is a brief history of the problematic of introducing new, fast vehicle types in the 19th and 20th centuries and the ways in which their users took ownership of the road at the expense of road users at large.
