The trunk, or boot, of an automobile or car is the vehicle's main storage, luggage, or cargo compartment. Trunk is used in North American English and Jamaican English; boot is used elsewhere in the English speaking world. In earlier usage, a boot was a built-in compartment on a horse-drawn coach, used originally as a seat for the coachman and later for storage.

Before anyone gets carried away with the 1831 act I should inform you that every section of the act has either been repealed or ammended. Those nine sections highlighted are still in force in their amended form

A bale of straw is still used on the Thames to indicate the headroom of a bridge is restricted (but open to traffic).
By night a single white light is used.
