It was a taxi driver who received the first speeding ticket in the United States. It went to Jacob German, who in 1899 drove at a staggering 19 km/h in New York, where the speed limit was 13 km/h. He was therefore caught up and arrested by a police officer on a bicycle and had to spend the night in jail for his misdeed.
