Picture (left): In the Bois de Boulogne. A "chauffeuse" of a motor cab. In this picture Mme Decourcelle and her passenger are supposedly rocketing through the Bois but the taxi wheels are obviously stationary and the left front tire is squeezed against the curb. Police had good reason to treat speeding seriously. In a world where horse-drawn traffic didn't move much faster than a walking pace a car travelling as slow as even ten or fifteen mph represented a real hazard.
