This is going to be fun. Some people will learn that it's soft at slow speeds and will assume it's always soft and severely damage their cars.

- TeMPOraL 9y agoNo tears shed by me. Speed limits are to be obeyed, not ignored.
- naraniano 9y agoLet's see if you shed a tear when a car breaks and city hall (this is, all the citizens, including you) has to pay for it.
- Xylakant 9y agoThese are installed in areas with speed limits at walking speeds. So if you're driving fast enough to damage your car and then seek damages, the best thing will that might happen is that they'll laugh you off. The worst thing is that you'll loose your drivers license. (No tears shed either)
- blincoln 9y agoMaybe where you live. In the Seattle area[1], speed bumps are frequently installed on residential streets where the actual limit is 25-30 miles per hour (40-50 kilometers/hour using non-legacy units). It's typically done in "problems areas" where a small number of people drive 25-50% or more over the limit, but it's extremely frustrating, because it forces drivers to drive way below the actual limit when crossing the speed bumps - especially if they're the bolt-down kind. i.e. the effect is to cause irritation for ~99% of drivers in order to punish a tiny minority. [1] I'm sure it happens elsewhere in the US, too.
- Xylakant 9y agoSo if this kind would be installed, then they'd be soft at regulated speed and only solid at speeds significantly exceeding those. I doubt you'd be able to sue the city for breaking your car then - you have been warned. Still, no tear shed.

- chrisper 9y agoAre you always driving exactly 5 MPH in a garage?
- dsfyu404ed 9y agoI would wager that he's much more likely to be caught driving a Prius at the speed limit in the left lane than a person who hasn't made a comment like that.
- adrianN 9y agoKeep the car in the lowest gear and let it roll. It's not that hard.
- emn13 9y agoI seriously doubt this is going to damage vicious speed freaks driving 8mph, pretty much no matter what it's made of.
