    A lifted Ford Ranger Raptor doesn’t even need to brake for them.

    A lowered hot hatch at the same speed goes airborne.

    It’s all about the amount of travel on the shock absorbers. Small and sporty cars have almost none.

    The “more mass = more intertia to dampen” rule doesn’t come into play until it’s your face absorbing the radiator grill.

      If you’re driving a truck over a speed bump at a speed that would launch a hatchback into the air, you are driving way too fucking fast over that speedbump.

        It happens at half the speed limit.

            you clearly haven’t seen the speed limits some cities keep after installing speed bumps
