ZetecVan 2.0 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 Bad news I thought we had it bad with four speedbumps....
johnny_h Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 Fookin speed bumps really grip my sh!t. I'm sick of scraping the fook out of my chassis rails and having my exhaust ripped off. I wouldn't mind if I was speeding over them but this is just when creeping over. The last set I encountered was exiting camber sands car park .... EXITING!. We had to all get out and lift the fookin car over the fooking thing!
RChambers Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 There is a legal maximum height for speed bumps. Maximum height is 100mm so if you make sure that the lowest part of your car is higher than this then you should be ok. If they are higher than 100mm and damage your car you should be able to claim damages off of the council.
ASBO CAPRI Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 Send the bill for a new downpipe to the council. They ought to pay really coz they rob enough money out of us in tax.
antz Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 Theres two into my work. I can get over the first one no probs but the second one i cant actualyl get over so i nip in the side entry even though you arent really supposed to getting out my driveway it scrapes EVERY FOOKING TIME!!.....im on my 3rd exhaust bracket in 2 years...(the other two snapped from being bent and straightened constantly)
Durham Fiesta Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 i've just been buying my first house, just noticed today that the access route has a bit of a ramp so hope the car will go over if not i'm screwed i think road planner should be more considerate to lowered cars
5hane Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 lowered cars tbh i dont think they give a 'poo' they would jsut say 'unlower it'
Durham Fiesta Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 they'd prob charge you for damage to the speed bumps , councils are only ever afer taking money off you and never give sod all back
marky4 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Posted June 15, 2008 don't talk to me about fooking speed humps have to go over 5 every time i leave my house, my down pipes have been flatterned and apart from me in my escort they don't slow anyone else down at all waste of fooking time

Thats the sort of highways engineer we need!!!
CHEVY Posted June 16, 2008 Report Posted June 16, 2008 Another thing i hate about speed bumps is they cant do your suspention/steering geometry any favours. I also hate it when people get right on your back bumper because you slow down to about 5mph so you don't do any damage to your car. I can't believe how fast some muppets drive thier cars over speed humps,some people don't seem to slow down at all,i would not wan't to buy a car that has been abused like that would you?.
