Sorting through some recently acquired papers of my Great Uncle Albert, I find his driving licence from 1912. This was a time when licences were issued by local authorities (in this case, Bradford), and had to be renewed every year.
Glad that they started licensing procedures that early there. So many cars and drivers at that time just did whatever they wanted. I would imagine England already had carriages and wagons travelling on the left side of the road, so kept up that practice with early cars!
