Why do speed bumps exist?

when the street I live on was getting repaved the speed bumps werent put back for like 3 months
its a smooth 900m long uphill road in a residential area branching off a larger road
those 3 months were hell because faggots started swarming through it as a shortcut at 80mph and shit, and they started throwing trash out their windows to shit up our property
even buses were coming through
fuck I hate this third world shithole

Nice get.

Also I would be driving to the side, as I have done before. If companies don't want their lawns wrecked then don't try to ruin my car and fuck up my bearings/joints with your horrible speed bumps.

I grew up next door to the kid who started that, he finished high school and bought a cheap Ram pickup and a trailer about that big, got in with the right people and now he's a multi-millionaire.

That video is filmed in my hometown, there is an apartment complex that has those bumps, on Wickham Rd. I used to be a cable guy in a Ford E-series van and dreaded going in for that very reason, sometimes I would park outside and walk in and do my disconnects and reconnects to avoid those bumps.

Don't you have any regulation for speed bumps?

Those would be illegal in here. It is strictly regulated what shape and size they must be to be safe and they are to be used when they are really needed.

Owners of private roads can do whatever they want.

For public roads, there's a slew of bureaucracy to shift through to do anything.

>that last one was a gallardo
lel wasn't this shit on a busy highway or something crazy

To increase the mortality rate of the old people that want them

>help, call an ambulance!
>on our way mam...oh wait, there are speed bumps. you'll have to wait a little longer, mam.

>Buses were coming through

Shouldn't they have predetermined routes? WTF

Fuck speed bumps. My car is completely stock, and I still slow down to a crawl because of them. I'd rather piss off the shit head behind my than ruin my car or suspension.

>TFW go less than 10 km/h on any and all speed bumps
>TFW go diagonally over some of them
>TFW slow down to 20 below speed limit when big, no speed bump, bumps are in the road (ie bridges connecting with roads)

Don't even give a fuck. My cars more important to me than some shit heads.

honestly if the cuck gets angry because the person in fron passes a speedbump slowly he/she deserves getting angry

one time i was on my shitty speed bump riddled college campus, trying to find a parking spot for my piece of shit corolla. car in front of me stopped, so i had to come to a stop as well.... straddling a speed bump. nothing has ever felt so wrong in my entire life, being stopped halfway over a speed bump. then the asian woman behind me rear ended me.

If you have to ask, you're probably one of the reasons user.

>not having springs on the bottom to bounce over them

That reminds me of this video.

My apartment area has these fucking monstrosities that are legit like six inches high. My miata isn't even that low but even at stock height I would not be able to get over them.

One of them even has a huge pothole right behind it that is almost as deep as the speed bump is high. Shit is horrendous.

My car is super stiff over speed bumps, so I have to go slow. :( I think some non-LRR tires will fix that.

Fun fact: You can get bagged asphalt at a hardware store to fill in speedbumps like OP's and smooth out others.

What's with Burger cars bouncing around like tennis balls?

Have they ever heard of shock absorbers? They usually look a bit like this

...

This is delicous and underrated.

you're right, this persuaded me

>tfw speed bumps every 100m on the road to my apartment
On any kind of even semi-sporty car you can't go more than 10 kph over them, so the traffic slows down to a crawl and lots of accelerating noise all the time.
Then you have the guys in SUVs and shitboxes they don't care about driving through them at 60kph, bouncing and scraping all over the place.

I'm sure this somehow increased my safety, I just don't know how...

drive a prerunner, no fucks given, bump or dip. You could ditch the paving or stop fixing potholes for all i care.

I think I read a post on here a while ago that you could dissolve speed bumps by pouring diesel on them

Think speed bumps are bad, wait 'til you meet the speed trench.

Never seen these. Didn't even know they existed.

Because assholes cant control themselves and have to be flooring it all the time through my neighborhood. They use it as a cut through to the apartments in the back. Every corner is basically blind but that doesnt stop them from trying to take each turn like an indy driver at 40mph. Without the speed bumps it would literally be unsafe to walk around my neighborhood,

I drive a lowered car daily, and I still prefer the bumps to shitheads.

>Why do speed bumps exist?
Because of abusive drivers in residential neighborhoods. Abusive drivers race, speed, or drift turns in the residential neighborhood. Abusive drivers throw trash out the window, so to reduce non-residential drivers from using the road, speed bumps are put in. Abusive drivers did not heed speeding signs, so speed bumps were the next step.

If someone films you doing that, you can be charged with road vandalism.

>Also I would be driving to the side, as I have done before.
Our HOA owns quite a bit of roads and some of it is not blocked by gates. Occasionally some kids speed, so we put up some bumps and big rocks on the side to prevent driving around. The side ditches were dug out a bit deeper and a different grass was planted. The side dirt is thus almost always soft and sinks under a car's weight. Only cars with four driven wheels can get unstuck.

There was a case where an outsider (like you) drove their 4wd suv where they shouldn't and got hung up. Our HOA and lawyers were VERY fast and blocked the tow company from getting it since it was on private property, thus the owner had to have a judge issue the order to us to allow towing the next day AFTER our claim of evidence gathering was done. Of course, the legal fees were charged to the trespasser.

Overnight, mysterious mega-vandals mangled the suv. Since the hard drive for that specific camera had gone to the lawyers who were making the case, there was no video evidence of the mega-vandals mysteriously mega-mangling the suv.

Some of our HOA private roads are open to the public but for one day a year when we exercise domain. Otherwise, people use it and even park on areas with paved shoulder parking spots. It's a great place to access bike and hiking trails or to pick blackberries when in season. That 3/4 mile road up to our main gate is like a park in its own way. Our HOA gets along with the public. We just don't like thug drivers.

I was just fixing the frost heaves, officer

where I live we don’t have speed bumps for this reason

Those are called trucks yuropoor. Here's your (you)

You sound like a rich cunt living in an enclave with a bunch of other rich cunts. I genuinely want to cut your head off, and all the heads of all your stupid rich cunt friends. Fuck you.

Why didn't he go sideways?

>when they cheap out and put those ones that are two separate sections of bump
>which means you can just ride between them if you're on a motorcycle
>when you get someone benind you who's visibly mad because you can go between the speed bumps instead of over them

Had someone try and tailgate me doing that, it was hilarious because I was cruising at 50km/h between the speed bumps and the lady behind me would have to slam on the brakes every time

Then suddenly, someone with a ski mask vandalizes all your cars while you're inside.

Good job.

Do you actually think any of that happened?

HOA's are usually massive faggots so i wouldn't be surprised and it matches with the last HOA story that i read on Veeky Forums in both writing and level of distilled pettiness

i'd say its plausible

>Do you actually think any of that happened?

hell, you don't even need an HOA. just park your car on some dark seattle street in such a way that it looks like it broke down there. people will break in. they break into cars in broad daylight as it is.

>HOAs

I drive a truck and they still fuck with me

>distilled pettiness
Even without HOA, do you remember how those old biddies sued the handicapped guy for working on friends' cars in his garage? That was after he had helped those old biddies too. Gratefulness doesn't last long it seems.

Everywhere in Florida where HOA doesn't exist is one big ghetto full of nogs.

A mixture of dumb people who ask for them and dumb people who can't be trusted to drive without them

neighborliness is a dead concept

>Why do speed bumps exist?
to kill al fun in driving, fuck up your shocks and rack up maintenance costs.
also:
because people base their speed on road surface quality first, then observed safety and lastly on imposed limits.

>tfw literally too smart to understand that illiterate retard's ramblings

So you can't tell if you ran over a kid or not while doing 100km/h(60mph) in a school zone
>fuck me

this bait is excellent and i'm saving it for future use

Damn, where do I get my hands on that?

>Street agrees to govt spending 900k to install 5 speedbumps in their road
>They get installed
>Street unanimously agrees to remove said bumps because they're sick and tired of hearing people stop/starting right outside their window all hours of the night
>They get removed
>Street yet again (4 years later) agrees that speed bumps were the lesser evil against speeders (600m straight gauntlet shot before an intersection though back roads)
>Govt installs again with penalty to road upkeep in that street as part of negotiations
>They get reinstalled
>Street complains about the state of surface 3 years later
>Govt tells them to literally 'Read the neighbourhood contract
>Blast past their road every fucking night at 10am with launch control

Fuck you stupid cunts for trying to slow people down on a road that only 3 people had been ticketed for speeding in the last 19 years prior to speedbump 1 arrival.

>I don't care so much I'm going to make an image about it

I meant 10pm.

I know I sound like a cunt, but this neighbourhood is almost the cookie-cut example of USA Homeowners association, and I don't live in the US. I've been 'hailed' for riding a pushbike too fast in their area and not 'acknowledging our local attitude towards roadside safety'. Nigger it's a flat street, I weigh 250lbs how fast do you think I can get on a 50lb downhill pushbike.

will frontlets ever learn?

Lose some weight goddamn

Except that they're already going slow in the first place and abiding the rules. Maybe all cars should be stanced to keep dipfucks from speeding.

Nice image, fagtronmcgaylord.

This is a truck, what you are talking about are toys.
