Are you sure about 50 mph being a safe speed? It doesn't take much washboarding to all but eliminate traction.

- maxerickson 11y agoIt's usually possible to evaluate the condition of large sections of road at once (since they do maintenance that way). So you don't often unexpectedly hit the washboarding at high speed. It also tends to be the case that going faster can reduce the effects of the washboarding (given a reasonable vehicle).
