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..

    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.

    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.
