The business park I work on is covered by the bastards. Seems funny then that the local safety camera vans are also housed there too.

Speed limit set at 30mph, I can only do 15mph over the bumps so end up causing massive tailbacks. Bothered.

HGVs can trundle over them at full speed though, or anyone with a car that has a wider track (like work\'s Octavia) can speed at anything they like. Managed 65 before I had to stop for the car in front...
No more Corsa :(

Hey think of it this way, at least tere are no speed bumps on the damn motorway lol :P

Plus i don\'t see a problem with speed bumps their designed to slow you down and it works.
But then again i do understand what you mean putting them in 30-40 zones..... but i don\'t have my car lowered or have a kit on it :P so i guess i can\'t say much lol
