EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print from The Motor Picture Book titled "What, Only Doing Sixty?" captures a humorous and lighthearted moment in 1930s transportation history. In the image, we see a mischievous young boy behind the wheel of a car, being stopped by a stern-looking policeman in his blue uniform and helmet.
The scene is set on a rural country road where the boy seems to have been caught speeding at sixty miles per hour, much to the disbelief of the officer. The expression on both their faces adds to the comic nature of this snapshot in time.
The juxtaposition of innocence and authority is evident as the child driver receives what appears to be a ticket for breaking the speed limit. Despite his youthful appearance, he seems unfazed by the consequences of his actions.
This charming photograph not only showcases early motoring culture but also highlights societal attitudes towards law enforcement and road safety during that era. It serves as a reminder that even back then, obeying traffic laws was essential for everyone on the road.
Overall, this delightful image encapsulates an amusing interaction between generations and underscores how humor can be found even in moments of rule-breaking.
