[–] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago (5 children) the point of speed bumps isn't to slow to a crawl just before you hit them and then carry on speeding (which is what everyone does....) if you're actually going the speed limit, it shouldn't damage anything.. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago Most speed bumps/humps these days require you to go below the speed limit to avoid damage to the car unless you're driving some jacked-up monster with loose suspension. permalink fedilink source parent [–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 11 points 6 days ago You haven't encountered many of these short speed bumps. The longer ones are like that. But no short speed bumps is safe to go over at anything but a crawl. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago Most speed bumps in the usa will fuck up your car, or at least give you a really bad day if you hit them at anything over 3mph. There are milder versions with names like "speed pillows" that let you go a little faster, but even those don't let you go the full speed limit. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 6 days ago In a perfect world, sure. Problem is, we live in reality. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dingus@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago Idk...a lot of speed bumps I've come across are crazy violent. They aren't sloped enough and instead project upwards very abruptly. Obviously, not every speed bump is the same, but still. I really would prefer for hidden speed bumps to not exist when I'm riding my motorcycle, for example, where that can be a rather dangerous "feature" of the road. permalink fedilink source parent
