Speed Hump Info

Quote:
The maximum legal height of a speed hump is 100mm, but the Department for Transport say:

"To limit the possibility of grounding, investigations suggest that road humps generally should not exceed 75mm in height."

Dont think there is one !! and dont really see how you can claim unless it was in a dangerouse condition but good luck.

Theres some speed humps by me that are really bad and i just dont go down there, my car isnt lowered and will scrape the exhaust.

Shame we don't have more of them in Basra at the moment, then we wouldn't have to make the troops patrol in Land Rover which provide almost no damn protection when some b_gger tries to blow them up with a bomb.
