Default Speed bumps

Speed bumps are simply inverted pot holes. Wouldn't it be cheaper for parking lot owners to just have a dang pot hole in the lot?

we share the same logic my friend. Somewhere along the way, we as a society have convinced ourselves that a property owner is fully responsible for damage incurred by a pothole that was not intended to be placed. Contrary, a property owner is not responsible for damages incurred which are caused by a deliberate build up of hard material. Both, can result in loss of control, damage which could potentially cause harm to another, etc. It's a jacked up (not lift wise) world we meander through.

The correct answer is it depends on the property owner how fast you should go. After all, some will go to extremes to discourage speeders over their speed bumps ...

Indeed. I do not have to drive 25 miles to the nearest mall to find speed bumps. There are inverted ones no further than the end of my driveway.

The game I play is not to see how fast I can take them, but how many I can miss.

That's a stupid question! How much fried chicken can you eat before you have a heart attack. Take them as you would in a car. If you hit them at a high rate of speed you are just asking to break something. I can already see what your next post will be......so,I developed DW and I don't know why? Please help.

To answer your fried chicken inquiry, it really depends on the amount of processed foods, void of digestive enzymes, that line your arterial walls, and how much one sits on their arss. Deep frying in a non-hydrogenated fat like macadamia or coconut will allow one to behave like they are at an "all you can eat."

It's a Jeep. That means you should be driving around the speed bumps anyways..

The REAL question you should be asking is: "what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?"
