    28 speed bumps either means you are driving pretty far through residential streets instead if taking (more congested?) main corridors or the traffic design in your area is pretty bad. Are the using speed bumps to compensate for too wide and too straight streets?

    Also, either your car is trash or you are approaching those speed bumps way too fast. I don’t know anyone with such pronlems and we do have speed bumps too, you know.

    No one needs a bigger car because of speed bumps but I understand that people are looking for excuses to justify choices that put others at risk for no good reason.

      It’s not a residential rat-run. It’s the most direct route.

      The speed humps are all along windy, hilly streets. The only straight stretch (about 500m) has chicanes all through it.

      The car is a 900kg hatchback with sports suspension. I slow down way more than everyone else does. The wheels leave the ground if you hit them at anything over 30km/h.
