At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour．That was the law until 1896 A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man．At night the man had to carry a red lamp．
Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England,but he wanted to drive faster than four miles all hour．In order to have no trouble with the police．he had a talk、with some of the police officers．who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road．This was a good plan in the country,but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London．
0ne night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge．One of the men walked in front with the red lamp,but he walked as fast as he could．The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car．and not one of them saw it.
They reached a hill；but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour!Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car；but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way．The slow car reached him．
“Good evening ,"said the policeman,looking at the car．
“Good evening," said Rolls,holding the lamp
‘“One of these horseless things," said the policeman,looking at it with interest.
“Yes,”said Rolls,and waited．
“I’ve often wanted a ride in one；but of course policemen can’t buy things like that.” he turned and looked hopefully in Rolls ’s face.
“jump in,”said Rolls
“Thanks,”said the policeman,and did so.“Now．”he said,sitting down,“you can let it go just as you like down this hill．There isn’t another policeman on this road for a mile and a half．”

曾经在英国公路上没有一个人能够行驶时速超过4英里的.那就是一直持续到1896年的法律规定,一个人走在汽车前面,但是汽车不能快过那个人.要是在夜间,那个必须拿着一个红色的灯笼.
曾经有一次,查尔斯.罗尔斯从法国带回来了一辆汽车到英格兰,但是他要驾驶超过4英里每小时.为了不让警察找麻烦,他和一些指挥他们成员去别的路看看是否有车经过的长官们谈过话.在这些乡村这是一个很好的想法,但是在交通拥挤的伦敦街道却不那么容易做得到.
一天晚上罗尔斯和他的朋友从伦敦出发开车前往剑桥.他们其中的一个人拿着红色灯笼走在车前面,但是他尽可能地走得快.当警察听到了他们的汽车后却开始对墙壁和路边店铺感兴趣,没有一个人看到它（汽车）.
他们到达了一个山坡,但是真正浪费时间的是开车下山时只有4英里每小时!罗尔斯准备跳上汽车,但他又一是到那个警察并没有看另外一条路.缓缓行驶的汽车开到了他（警察）的身边.
“晚上好”,警察看着汽车说道.
“晚上好”,罗尔斯举着灯笼对警察说.
“这个不用马拉的玩意儿”,警察看着汽车好奇地说道.
“是的”,罗尔斯回答道,并在那等着.
“我时常想着坐上它兜兜风,但是当然警察是买不起这玩意儿的.”他转过身然后期待地看着罗尔斯的脸.
“上车吧”,罗尔斯说道.
”警察说着上了车.“现在,”他坐下后说道,“你可以不受限制的开车下这个坡了.在前方一个半英里内没有别的警察.”
