They weren't used to a carriage that could travel by itself. Now, we cannot imagine a world without motor vehicles. As automobiles continued to be improved upon, so did the safety standards and the car accident laws regarding them. Florida driving laws, such as speed limits and which way to drive down the road, were implemented to increase the safety of those who operated the vehicles and pedestrians.
