Speed Humps
 

Speed humps, sleeping policeman, speed cushions (slightly different), call them what you like I don't like them.

Had a council letter saying they are proposing to make it a 20mph zone along our street and this involves laying down speed cushions.
Buses and lorries use this road and it seems speed cushions will let them run between the cushions.
So while hunting for ammunition so I could write to them objecting to this idea I found this site -

better order new springs you will probably break some this frosty weather :mad:

Remember the Citroen GS?
We got one of the first vans.

Dunstable had just installed 'humps' on Boscome Road.
The Citroen GS would take the humps flat-out without noticing . . .

yes i remember the GS very good until something went wrong :confused:

On the abd website as mentioned above - a certain British Police officer states his subaru could skim the humps at 70 mph.
