Steam carriages were much less likely to overturn, they travelled faster than horse-drawn carriages, they were much cheaper to run, and caused much less damage to the road surface due to their wide tyres.
As viaturas a vapor eram menos prováveis de capotar, mais rápidas do que as carruagens de tração animal e mais baratas e causavam também muito menos danos nas estradas porque tinham rodas mais largas.
