Implying I'm going to slow down because of your stupid fucking concrete bump

>implying I can even tell if I ran over a speed bump

I hate speed bumps but traffic "calming" islands are the worst

One on my estate is a pain in the arse. Saw it being removed once and all they did was move it further up the road towards a junction. Buzzkill.

>have priority
>oncoming cars push through
>play chicken
>almost every time I drive

>my car rubs on a speed bump and its not too low
uhhh... user? thats retarded. the two things are directly related.

same

it rubbed on nothing before those speed bumps showed up. I raised the suspension to clear all the speed bumps I've encountered then those monstrous things showed up.

I'm an American, and what is this. That's asking, no, begging, for an accident.

>Screaming suspension
I..is this bad, i hit them at like 40km/h

I'm sure it isn't good for their longevity. But then again it depends on the kind of speed bump. Mine are pretty steep.

There's a few of them in my town, there's always some cunts parked along the double yellows too making them infinitely worse.

I go less than 5 mph over these and sometimes roll backward, especially if people are behind me.

Must have pissed off a lot of cunts

They're called speed bumps, not slow bumps.

Fun fact about speed bumps, they actually cause a significant amount of deaths because it slows down emergency personnel when they need to attend a scene.

I usually use them for wheelies

Do you have proofs?

>West Auckland
I'd be skeptical about announcing my presence in a semi-desirable car there.

>One dailymail article that's just one guys opinion
That's like me saying intersections cause deaths because ambulances slow down to cross them instead of blasting through at 90mph

Thanks for that. Unsourced claims are they devil

They probably do but there is nothing we can do about that. The fact of the matter is, particularly with paramedics is that seconds can mean life and death for some people. If obstructions, any obstruction is slowing them down then it can have an effect.

This is not hard, use your brain.

The difference is that intersections are practically impossible to eliminate without causing even bigger problems

It doesn't stop teen drivers because it's not their car.

>have to rapidly accelerate between speed bumps like an autist to make up for driving over them painfully slowly

I do not slow down for speed bumps, I don't give a shit. Speed limit is 20mph? That's how I go over a speed bump.

Fucking car is made out of metal, it's not going to shatter or break, okay? Cars have a skidplate for a reason. You should see the bolts on my skidplate, grinded off into an angel, nobody is getting that plate off without drilling out the bolts.

Not even joking.

Yes, my wheels are off-camber, again I don't give a fuck, I can fix that in like 20 minutes if I gave a fuck, which, I do not.

What really grinds my gears are faggots in fuck-huge SUVs and off-road trucks slowing to a near stop to overcome a fucking speed bump. These are people that should be given jobs as speedbumps.

>(fixable)

Hello, City of Portland, Oregon.

Bongistan government hates cars.

>Grinded off into an angel
No wonder you were killed Tim.

Over the last decade, our mayor has been on a crusade to level every single crosswalk with the sidewalk. His mission is almost complete. Some of these abominations are completely covered with scars. Regardless of speed, the only way to not hit them with some cars (like mine) is to be stepping on the pedal when you're on top.

I'm getting mad just thinking about it.

Yes, I got a C+ in both college algebra and religious studies both, angel? angle? Fucking impossible to tell apart a 270 degree angle is like pac-man, or a study in electrical theory. A 270 degree angel is some kind of deified entity that burned down that mosque down the street.

Very confusing, desu. Both ancient concepts, wish they made a terminology that wasn't just a mismatched letter apart.

All the fucking "technology" you tards brag about and you dont have a drive thru ATM?

7/10

Sorry we're not obese and fused to our Silverado mobility scooters.

Those guys only live in the large cities, I live in a town with +/- 2000 inhabitants. Only time Ahmed and Fatima are seen is at the yearly flea market.
In the large cities however you will find Mehmet, Achmed and Muhammed, but not the gypsies since those were drowned in the canal by the first 3.

>are faggots in fuck-huge SUVs and off-road trucks slowing to a near stop to overcome a fucking speed bump.
I live in the Midwest so tons of pickups and lifted ones. Every time there is a speed bump or ever a set of railroad tracks they crawl over them.

>he has to park his car to get cash

Actually what is wrong with you? Might as well go into the bank at that point.

>when the weed goes too far

That's exactly what I do.

Do Amerifats pay to use the ATM?
I pay exactly 0 fees, and would switch banks immediately if they asked me to pay 0.01€ for accessing my own money.

Okay, that's pretty much objectively worse. Great job europe.

Drive through ATMs are usually free if you have an account with the bank that operates them. I never pay fees at ATMs, my bank covers them.

You usually always get free ATM usage if that ATM is from your bank.

For instance no fees if you use a Chase ATM and you have a Chase account. But go over to a Wells Fargo ATM with your Chase card and you'll most likely get hit with fees.

don't laugh, I've seen an apartment that used speed trenches. pretty damn effective

Talking about "technology" while you still use cash.
Debit card everything, we got retarded "contactless payments" for €25 a day max.
Since a couple of months you can use your phone instead of your card because pulling it out is too much trouble apparently.

>I'm curious if speed bumps actually help cross traffic at all.

Bumps aren't there for pedestrian safety. They usually go in when the main arterial traffic gets plugged up and people start using adjacent residential streets as a bypass.

No instead you are fused to Muslim cock.

My old complex installed them because of me.....
I was going through the complex at like 70mph....

madman

That doesn't seem safe to me...

I drive 3 hours everyday in Indiana to go to and from work....
I fucking hate trucks.... I spend most of that time just looking at the back of an F150....

gosh i hope they are ok

>Rebuilt title due to cosmetic-only damage. Repaired professionally.

burger roads are so shit that they don't need speedbumps since people slow down anyway for all the potholes

>tasteful exterior mods

And the government can also freeze your assets at any time, for any reason or none at all. Even with a fiat currency, they can't fuck with cold hard cash unless they want riots. Using actual cash money also helps lots of people to be more fiscally responsible; you're less likely to spend money that's actually in your hand than you are some digital bullshit made of wishes and horse apples.

What the fuck

I can't believe this is real

>Visit Belgium once.

In the Netherlands we add speedhumps to these things, to make the game of chicken more intense.

Implying I wouldn't hit those at 50 in my Buick.

good luck

it's physically impossible for me to watch (and listen to) that with a straight face

Have these literally in my street and several places in the neighborhood.
I just floor it every time when I have the right of way, I don't give a flying fuck anymore if some retard is gonna attempt to get over it first even though they should be waiting, I'm tired of these entitled niggers.

It's like those cucks want their pizza to be colder or something.

The fun only starts when a moped that doesn't have right of way goes through the middle of it at the last moment instead of around it

There are a bunch round me as well, they're fucking shite. One near my dad's house is placed so close to a corner that you can't possibly see if there's any oncoming traffic (who have the priority) and I've almost had a head-on collision once with one dickhead who flew round the corner and straight into the bottleneck after I'd crossed the line (since nobody was there at the time). But hell, at least these have priorities set up. There are a series of them near my work that don't have defined priorities so you just have to figure it out between yourselves. This does provide a fun opportunity to bully BMW drivers and buses in my shitbox though, so it's not all bad. Again, these are all on corners so seeing if anyone's coming is difficult. It's utter bollocks.

Pretty much

I accelerate just before the speed bump and jump over it, really fun. Must be for the residents of the street as well, since I have a 2 stroke dirt bike with a really old ineffective silencer.

>have no problem hitting speedbumps or going over rail crossings at a reasonable speed
>most other road users don't either
>anyone driving an SUV or a truck (big raised vehicles that should be ideal for going over this sort of shit at a decent speed) will ALWAYS slow to a fucking walking pace
>it's nearly always a woman taking the kids to or from school
Get the fuck out of the way you god damn useless cunts

God forbid your precious little crotch-spawn in the back seat have a slightly uncomfortable journey, now get the fuck out of the way so the rest of us working folk can get to where we need to be. Send your god damn kids on the school bus rather than clogging up the fucking roads with your poorly-driven SUV.

>I've seen an apartment that used speed trenches. pretty damn effective
That's the proper way when combined with low speed bumps that are more like "speed slopes" than bumps. Slow cars don't really feel it. But a car going too fast has a reaction time from its suspension. The trench followed by the bump means the car slams into the pavement with its front.

Tall vehicles will just feel a bigger bump though because the important thing is to not make either the trench or bump too big to stop ambulances or paramedics.

Police sometimes chase cars into my neighborhood. The road to the development was made so the main entrance has a T-intersection. Someone running from cops races in and can't do the T-intersection. Ditches along the road mean no cutting corners. The car can't drift or cut corners because the ditches funnel the car to go straight ahead. It has to go right into the boulder or the ditches around the boulder. So far, no runner has defeated the boulder.

The repaving company uses a tar-like slurry to reseal the road surface. Over the years, that entrance road became very smooth. Not as smooth as a mirror, but imagine the smoothest fine-grain parking lot surface you've ever seen where all the spaces between every asphalt pebble is filled in with smooth hardened asphalt. If you speed in at 30MPH and slam the brakes, you'll slide into the boulder. If you speed in at 25MPH in the rain, you'll definitely slide into the boulder if you have cheap tires.

>Dumbass, I can see a boulder from far away.
The entrance is stylish with trees and shrubs lining the road. The entrance is almost like a tunnel through trees and shrubs. It's very nice. In front of the boulder are shrubs. They need to be replanted every now and then when speeders take them out when hitting the boulder.

The boulder was and is a great feature. We all love it. It punishes all the speeders running from the police. Makes me wonder if the police try to herd runners here.

That is because a lot of them probably have the off-road package, and the suspension is stiff as hell. My Dad used to have a Jeep, and it would literally hurt to go over a speed bump at more than 5 mph. I drive a Ford Ranger with the FX4 Level 2 package, and if I go too fast I will bounce up and hit my head on that handle thingy that is above the door.

The best part about riding a capable dual-sport motorbike is giving no fucks about speed bumps. Sometimes I even accelerate to get some air.

>offroad suspension
>stiff as all fuck

somehow that seems backwards.

I'm just going out on a limb here, to say they're probably dead.

...I seriously wouldn't even consider driving anything less in Mexico because there are speed bumps EVRYWHERE. Street vendors put them up themselves wherever they please in order to stop traffic to sell stuff to drivers. It's absolutely nuts there. But then they also put pic related everywhere which seems specifically designed to knock over motorcycles.

Speedbump inventors are devilish

>Street vendors put them up themselves wherever they please in order to stop traffic to sell stuff to drivers
My coworker and his wife went to Mexico for their honeymoon. A mistake as they target tourists with SCHEMES. People staked out sidewalks as their "property" and charged them money to walk on it. Can't go into the street. And can't reverse because barricades are now up. They target groups of tourists like that.

At the airport, there was an official that even charged them CASH to go past. She would stuff the cash into her pockets. No change given. Pay or get back on the plane. He and his wife were so pissed they said they won't go back to mexico. The casual corruption is everywhere and the people all seem to accept corruption as a way of life.

I hope that doesn't happen in the USA where corruption is tolerated by everyone. Find corruption? Fight it.

>MFW go to get some burgers like a true amerifat

>Double speed bump
>Make a left hand turn to go out the way I came
>Another speed bump
>Speed bump before getting out of the parking lot one last time
>MFW fucking coca cola slips out of the shitty cupholder and onto my car.

The real blame for those bumps lies with all those teens burning rubber after they get their drive thru. When accidents happen, the victims sue the shop for its deep pockets, so the shop prevents that by proving it had good intentions.

It's not that bad in my experience, but there is some shit to watch out for. Police are horribly corrupt, but in most cases you can wear them down by refusing to pay a bribe (but if you have to be somewhere then you'll have to pay). Locals and especially Indians like to blockade roads and pretend like they own them, same with beaches, which really sucks since it comes with the implicit threat that they'll rob you if you don't pay. Really nothing you can do about that that I've figured out, although again having an off-road capable bike helps since you can usually ride around their impromptu roadblocks (you're decked in a car though if they put down spikes or rocks on the road). It's really embarrassing for Mexico they allow that sort of shit to go on, especially when it's not nearly so bad in other even poorer Latin American countries.

Got to give them credit for having half a brain. A guy tried to rob my father with a knife. He was standing in front of my father's car.
Emphasis on was.
