Solution

The correct option is B 1865
The Locomotives and Highway Act was the first piece of British motoring legislation. This was also known as the Red Flag Act of 1865. The Act required three persons in attendance one to steer, one to stoke and one to walk 60 yards ahead with a red flag to warm the oncoming traffic.
