I actually got overtaken over ane of these bumps in my 25mph posted street by a woman in a large SUV who didnt even back off for the bump. 200 yards down the road- at the stop sign-I got out of my car to have chat with her. She was justified in driving like that in my street where my kids live because little Xavier and Jacinta were late for school.
Hate to genralise, but the soccer mum in the large SUV with kids on board around school drop and pickup time is far ansd away the most dangerous and inconsiderate thing on the road.

dont fool yourself...........THOSE AINT BAJA MEXICO SPEEDBUMPS W/METAL DISCS PLANTED ON TOP OF CONE PIECE OF CONCRETE! they will slow anything down! ANYTHING! when they say slow. THEY MEAN SLOW! or replace your entire suspension. cheap to make, believe me. you'll find these at checkpoints manned by MILITARS and toll roads. very effective and dirt cheap.
