First speeding ticket? edit
- Myers received the world's first speeding ticket in 1904, in the city of Dayton, Ohio. Police ticketed him for going twelve miles per hour on West Third Street.[1][2][3]
The claim above that Harry C. Myers received the world's first speeding ticket has three sources but the second two actually reference the first source as their source, namely Ohio History Central, and that website makes no claim as to which "Harry Myers" this is. The third Find A Grave: Henry C Myers citation (which claims it is "Harry C. Myers the Hollywood actor") is a submitted posting by a member, not a scholarly citation, and is written Mar 12, 2009 one half year after the claim appeared in Wikipediadif, so there is a good chance that person looked it up in Wikipedia, i.e. this is a mirror. Need a real ref here since another editor claims this is bogus[1]. SomeRandomFilmArticleEditor (talk) 02:45, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
