Speed humps/bumps

Well go a bit slower then!

The are aptly named "Traffic Calmers" I have yet to find one that does just that, To most drivers they are a inconvenience, to some they are a challenge to centralise the car for a smooth clearance, To mums on the school run they don't exist !! the impact helps shake the crumbs and crisps off the back seat, ;-) Fitzy

A friend of mine had to stop going to Tesco in Stroud because his kit car couldn't negotiate the speed bumps.

And some householders near where I live are cursing them because a lot of lorries and buses use the road and houses are being damaged by the shock (cracks in walls and concerns about foundations). Likewise they had to remove them from a nearby High Street because the emergency services refused to drive along it.

I understand that one council recently removed them and actually reduced accidents as a result.
