1894: ‘Sir – It has been my misfortune to have been an eye-witness to several street accidents, undoubtedly due to careless or furious driving. I have seen in Queen Street a bus, a tramcar and a milk-cart racing down the street abreast. Unfortunately there is no novelty about bus and tramcar racing but the authorities should undoubtedly put a stop to it. Bus and tramcar racing in a narrow thoroughfare like Working Street is a daily occurrence. Only tonight I saw a man driving through Church Street, which happened to be crowded at the time, at the rate of eight to ten miles an hour. He only knocked one man down but that was one man too many. I would feel safer in crossing a busy London thoroughfare than I would in crossing many a street in Cardiff. It is certainly full time that this sort of thing should be looked more sharply into. W. Jesse Williams, Park Hall Buildings, Cardiff, July 2.’ (Western Mail)
