There are two ways of going over speed ramps in my car:

A. Slow down to 1st gear and 10kmph. Crawl over the ram.
B. Go at normal speed and shatter you spine in the process.

But sometimes when option C is available, I use it.
That option being driving to the left and protecting your suspension, your spine etc.

is your car customised at all?

some motorists drive to the left of speed ramps. ..does my head in.

I have no choice but to do it cos my car is low, sorry if it annoys you :rolleyes::p

it's worse when cars slow right down. I cruise over them at 30kph.

just passed NCT with no fails and not uncomfortable for passengers.

possible that these are easy ramps though as have encountered a few where I brake, maybe 10%.

I remember taking girl to work at 4:40 in the morning. The road we drove I used a few times and it newer had speed bumps. So those clowns made huge speed bumps which were totally same color as road. Guess what: no markings too! I was doing 50km/h and jumped I that speed bump on full blast, because I just could not see!!! It was scary and car defenetly did not liked that.
If there' is a chance to go around, then I always will.
On the other hand speed bumps are still not as bad as I have seen a few in Dublin. Those were like little high hills on the road! Lad with normal car had problem going over and I could not even dream to go over with my cars! I would have to stop turn around and find other road!

Some monkeys they are m8! In fact I refused to take that girl to work anymore as the road I had to use had 8 horrible speeds bumps on top of pure **** road. She was not paying me anything too, not even for petrol to take her to work. So I just told her to deck off and find someone else as I don't like to put my little Mazda to more unneeded stress! Iight sound like a sick, but I don't give a **** about ignorant people and speed bumps!

Biggest ramps in my area would be through the Coolock village near Chanel College.
