Hit a red 'bus friendly' speed bump a bit too quick

[Thrill]

Hit it at about 45mph with just my right wheel, everything sounded normal when I went over it. Anything I should check for to put my mind at rest? I'm usually gentle over bumps, but I was not expecting to see a line of speed bumps across the road to be honest. Cheers guys!

Is the bump okay?

You're one to talk :rasp:

 

[Thrill]

Nope, it's no longer there. On a serious note, is my car?

Never a truer word spoken.. getting collected in the next 2 hours.. if you never hear off me again I'm serving life! lol.

Check the Axles and the wishbones.

Cue the speed police.

I didn't know they had bumps in 50 limits.

lol

op, check the flux capacitor is ok, they're known to split on the d4f (1.2) engines after impacts.

sleeping policemen strikes again. if your lucky irrcc you might have knocked your tracking a little

I find that when driving 45mph in a residential area, it's much smoother to go up over the pavements. People usually move out of the way.

The flux capacitor seems ok, muhahaha :lolup: The tracking is completely off anyway, it's having two new front tyres and getting tracked when I have some money! Cheers mate

45mph in a 30 (possibly a 20 as it has speed bumps)?

c**t.

Cliosport.net really is attracting cretins lately. I've had more intelligent turds.

What is a bus friendly speed bump?

 

[McGherkin]

It's one of those ones which you can straddle if you have a wide enough track.

a speedbump that says hello to the friggin bus as it goes over....!

says f**k off to people in a 1.2 :rasp:

get the tracking done ASAP when you have moneys, or your new tyres will be cheese

The rubber ones?

They're designed to collapse on the outside if you hit them square on at 40mph+, so police cars / paramedic cars don't have to slow down for them. Ambulances, fire engines, etc can just straddle them un noticed.

They're a good idea.

They're already cheese. The garage didn't track them afterwards. New tyres and tracking at someone who do tyres, and just tyres. Here's the bumps I'm talking about:

 

[McGherkin]

These ones:

As opposed to one that goes right across the road.

So they're put down in an attempt to slow you down (and presumably you only get these in >= 30mph zones), and you go half as fast again!

Interesting.
