Driver Education In Tennessee Public Schools: An Appraisal Of Administration, Instruction And Personnel, Earl W. Henry
Doctoral Dissertations
Since primitive travel caused few traffic problems, simple, unwritten rules of the road remained sufficient for many centuries. It is interesting to note, however, that in 396 B.C. the Romans felt compelled to write traffic laws for the city of Rome.
