It was in the 1930s that the motor car industry took off. Until then it was only the rich who could afford to purchase such a superfluous luxury item and to lay out for the uniformed chauffeur to go with it. By 1939, however, it was possible for the less wealthy to buy a four-seater saloon for somewhere in the region of £100. This changed the shape of towns, causing suburbs of semi-detached houses with parking spaces and garages to proliferate. It also meant a significant number of people being run over in motoring accidents, as by 1940 there were a million cars on the roads of Britain. Nowadays the fatalities are half what they were then, with twenty times more cars on the road. The minimum age for drivers, then as now, was 17. Testing began in 1935, the same year as speed limits in built-up areas and pedestrian crossing were introduced. Dipped headlightings were made compulsory in 1937, and rear-view mirrors, surprisingly late, in 1941. Road deaths continued to soar, however , because of blackout conditions during the Second World War.
