"The Law of the Road; or, Wrongs and Rights of a Traveller" by R. Vashon Rogers is a funny and informative book from the 1800s that looks into what travelers can and cannot do, especially when riding in carriages and trains. The book uses humor to teach regular people about the law and is packed with funny stories that show how the law works. The story starts on New Year's Day when a man named Eldon faces funny legal problems because his wild servant, John, keeps causing accidents while driving. Eldon talks with his wife, Elizabeth, about legal ideas like who is responsible for what servants do, what rights people on foot have, and how driving on Sundays is different. The writing is witty and conversational, so readers learn about road laws while also enjoying funny, real-life family situations.
