Dude! It'a a mail truck with switches!


Yeah, speed bumps suck. I lived in an apartment for a few months while working away from home. Fortunately I had a rental car because they had speed bumps everywhere around the complex. They were extremely annoying still.

Those permanent speed bumps aren't too bad. We have a new type here in SoCal they're about 2.5" tall shaped like a triangle and have a sharp drop off, they're bolted into the cement. With their design you can't crawl over them slow enough, they jar the **** out of your car....

That is absolutley ridiculous...both of them. The clusters even more so....that's gotta be killer on your shocks. I agree on some sort of regulation....just doesn't seem fair. And being modified is no argument, any stock high end sports car would have a hard time getting over either of those. Many of our public roads (through neighborhoods) hae speed "humps" down here in FL...which isn't too bad as long as you take it real slow. Private roads though (condo complexes etc.) can put in whatever absurb form of speed bump they want though.

There are some nasty speed humps here. I had to cross some in a church parking lot that were just ridiculous. They look deceptively small and it isn't until you've dragged your exhaust across them and high centered your car when you realized how bad it really was. I hit the first one bad and even angling across all 3 lanes to take them as easy as possible, I still was dragging. I'm only on g s-techs.

you want speed bumps come to Kuwait. This country is obsessed with them. Even outside of Kuwait City on the highways there are 2 in each lane at every intersection or round about, going both directions of traffic, so even after you get through the intersection you have to slow down for them as you're leaving. And they arent small here either.

If you guys think you have it bad, you should try the UK, We have speed bumps almost everywhere in towns, some can scrape the bottom of a std ride hight G35, lowered is a nightmare.

Haven't seen a cluster with 5 speedbumps before...

There's a mall around here that has clusters of 2 but can be avoided.

I hate speed bumps. They all should go away.

I have never seen that intense of a cluster I don't think. I would probably back up and find a different way lol
