    y separately published work icon New Writing vol. 20 no. 1 2023 25976799 2023 periodical issue 'The problem with early-nineteenth-century automobiles was that they were large, heavy and difficult to stop. So, in Britain, by the 1860s, Locomotive Acts or Red Flag Acts were introduced to deal with the danger they posed. Because of these Acts, self-propelled vehicles on British public roads were only allowed to travel if preceded by a man waving a redflag and blowing a horn. The result of these Acts, in addition to any saved lives, was that many British inventors turned their attention away from automobiles and worked instead on the development of railroads and trains. These Red Flag Laws were not repealed until 1896' (Publication summary)  2023 pg. 83-96
