Man with driver riding a horse-drawn jaunting car. Photograph circa 1890-1910(?) by John J. Clarke (1879-1961). The jaunting car's high centre of gravity and narrow track width made it top heavy and the driver had to make sure that the passenger load was properly distributed to prevent capsizing. In the case of one passenger or three passengers the driver occupied one of the side seats for balance.
