So this morning I leave for work to find out that damn SANRAL has put new speed bumps on Linden Str in Sandown Joburg.

Now I don't mind speed bumps but these things are mountains.

I banked by 323i E90 on the second one.

This is bull shit and I am very peed of about this.

Now what the hell can I do about this?
This is just insane and is only a matter of time until someone damages their car on these things.

I get why they placed around schools,infact im all for them there.What bloody gets my blood boiling is when you find these mountains on an open stretch with no intersections around,with no sign of life forms anywhere in sight! Maybe preventive measures against street racing?? Who knows what goes on in their brilliant minds..

Ja I agree with all that.

But just the fact that they are impossible to get over.

And this is in sandton, Where ferrari's and lambo's are daily events.

They need one massive law suite against them, then they maybe think twice. I they have to pay for a few ferrari's damages could mak them reduce the bumps quickly.

The UK have done studies into how much more fuel is wasted due to the speed bumps, result are frightening.

There is a speed bump in bedfordview that has no painted markings , no chevrons and no warning signs near it, and it rattles the shit out of my car every time I go over it.

If you are keen for a fight go over that bump at 60km/h...........I guarantee it will destroy your car and then you can have a go at the council for what is genuinely an illegal speed bump.

There seems to be no standards when it comes to building speed bumps. If every one was the same I would have no issues but no two are alike and some simply slow you down where others cause damage.

What irritates me is when you get to a speed bump and the warning for the speed bump is on the speed bump - "this won't hurt, did it..." :argh:
