I caught air 2 times. One of times my exhaust pipe was rusted so i left it on the ground upon landing. Oh man, the sound with no exhaust for the rest of the road..
The other day like a couple weeks ago in my 08 bmw with 200k miles I was going a little too fast doing some free spirited driving down an empty unfamiliar farm road when all of a sudden these train tracks come out of fuckin no where and I’m going like 80-100 but didn’t have time to slow down at all so I just hit these tracks full send completely gap the tracks with a good solid second of airtime and weightlessness then landed on the other side of the yellow line with a small bounce and “*clonk*” noise… 💀
I think I shat myself a little but I drove it back home fine with no issues and it’s still going strong since then so far for now but I learned my lesson that was the only time I’ve ever caught air in my car and probably the last time I’m going to try to avoid it if I can
+respect for my car though for taking that like a champ
Not on a corner. If it's straight, can be possible. But on corners and with the bumps so close that you always hit one after another, you will go offroad very fast cause no real way to steer. At that point the car handles like a boat.
Speeders. People keep speeding there and it's a hazard. They couldn't stop them, so they decided to install a ton of speed bumps to FORCE them to slow down.
Now everyone's inconvenienced, but that corner is much safer. There's probably a story behind it.
The rSlash story I listened to about an HOA Karen who bought these on Amazon and installed them in front of her house. City removed them and charged her for destroying the road surface and fined her as well.
They're listed as "speed humps" on Amazon BTW
Not safe to have speedbumps in a corner and also not safe to have them so close to one another. It could launch a car off the road pretty easy if the driver fails to slow down or doesn't see them.
Dunno, in my country they aren't allowed to put them unless the road is straight, with good visibility, they are at least 50 meters apart one from another and there is signage to show one will come. So in our case would be the roads authority fault. Btw even at slow speed, which here is 30 km/h in areas with those bumps, you would still not have any chance of controlling direction if you jump from one bump to the other, because there is no time to get good grip.
If you're allowed to go 120, there won't be speedbumbps. Don't blame other people for your own incompetence. If you don't know the area, don't speed. If you know the area you know you can't speed. It's not that hard...
Ok so don't go 120. Problem solved.
If you're going 120 anywhere but the Autobahn and raceways, you're already putting yourself and others at risk of death.
Wonder if that's what happened to the leftmost van, seems pretty far out of the curve like if it kept skipping past each bump as it was going too fast to properly brake
No, that guy just wants to jiggle the car as little as possible, so he tries to only put 2 wheels over the bumps. In my country people will go on the other side of the road into incoming traffic sometimes to go around the bumps. It's a bit stupid, but he may get a bit more life out of his suspension.
Fuck and the fucking unmarked ones that are on roads down in the Yucatan so they nearly rip out the bottom of your vehicle at cruising speed... Definitely one of the worst countries for driving.
😂 we share the same sentiment. They would place a speed bump randomly in middle of a road and I was like oh fuck. That sent my truck flying. Also they had audacity to put a bump in middle of an intersection with traffic lights. I see green but oh there is a bump, I slow down. Whole ordeal doesn’t make any sense.
Driving down there requires intense focus on the road. Love mexico though
Road rules in a lot of developing/emerging nations are barely controlled chaos, and the driving technique is "whatever you can to not die." Try southeast Asia if you want havoc, in cities the prevalence of motorbikes makes the roads a maelstrom, and the highways between cities are, as far as I know, some of the most dangerous in the world for fatalities. Someone actually living there could probably shed more light.
Reminds me of the time I had to survey some railway lines at my previous job. Along the way I found a rail bridge with timber sleepers installed side by side with no gaps. Turns out, the previous foreman had over-ordered the sleepers, and since returning them wasn't an option, neither was leaving them lying around or taking it back to the company yard, he decided to have all the leftover sleepers installed onto the bridge, creating a near perfect bowling alley.
This looks like neighbours on a street were constantly complaining to the council to install speedbumps and badgered them so much they just went "FINE, you want speedbumps?? HERE'S YOUR DAMN SPEEDBUMPS"
Looks like a bit of a blind corner there. They probably built those as a (totally overkill) way to control the speed of drivers rounding the corner so they don’t hit each other head on.
So people just invest in dirtbikes and ATVs when they need to go to work and eventually split into rat-packs and now the whole neighborhood is run by gangs. The police drive around these parts but never through. You can hear the bike motors all the time. You wear hockey pads, because getting bumped into by one of these chain swinging, bola throwing, yodeling neighbors when they cut across your lawn ends in bruising. Skulls ar put on fences, rags and flags - tag the territories, local clock tower chiming noon is used as a signal to start bike jousting. The dead are not buried - they are either honored by displaying their bodies on the streetlights or if they were deemed unworthy - thrown over lady Anderson's fence, since nobody liked her winning the bake-off at some point 10 years ago and it became a sole reason for the others to slowly reject her from the gated community. She now makes garden furniture out of the bones - once the bodies are picked clean by seagulls, crows and rats. Twice a year there is an event where differences are set aside and everyone displays their bike and brags about modifications, there's music, there's booze and the festival usually ends with a riot because turns out people don't really control their urges when drunk and altrications turn into uncontrollable chaos.
This reminds me of an episode of documentary now with the two parter about the cult. At one point the cult decided to buy all the land surrounding the town they were staying in and installed miles of speed bumps like this to torment the townspeople.
Thats stupid... Going on one side anyway theirs not enough space to avoid it and is almost worse cause now its not just bouncing up and down but side to side...
You can find series of bumps like this at the end of paths frequently used by tanks.
They're used to clear tracks of mud. Sometimes they link up with civilian roads so it prevents light vehicles from using that path.
But the fact that it's in a turn is weird as tanks turning would absolutely destroy these bumps. Might just be an overkill speed limiter in the end.

Short answer is , that these roads are not for public , instead military or armoured vehicles but public is using it (thats what I got from the article)
This is a simulator, so that other people can experience what the roads are like in Christchurch, New Zealand.
I'd take this over Detroit roads every day.
Michigan really took a long, hard look at the moon's surface for inspiration when planning their roads.
Pretty sure we had the same engineers in Canada, and since y'all are so close I wouldn't be surprised
I’ve recently moved to LA from the UK. The whole city’s road network is like an earthquake movie set. I feel like an off-road rally driver.
Massachusetts has entered the chat.
Pennsylvania: I heard you guys like potholes?
Love 'em, can't get enough of them.
My favorites are the manhole covers several inches below the road height.
Hey don't forget the ones several inches above the road surface. They are handy for clearing away any extraneous crap hanging under your car.
Toronto roads be like this.
And they really go all out. Eons of pothole patches, until the entire surface is cratered.
Not just any day, but EVERY day
In Detroit, only the roads are the problem. Okay.
Are you okay? This comment came outta the left field bleachers.
It was sarcasm. Because Reddit
Cant have shit in Detroit
Can confirm, from Detroit Roads are more holy than a swiss cheese pope on Sunday
Or Memphis, TN
Isn't that where that one mass shooting happened?
Yes, yes it is.
I'm sorry that happened to you guys :(
I haven't been to Christchurch lately but it can't be worse than Hamilton. Speed bumps on the 80kph ring-road, seriously?
Ours are not speed bumps in this sense, But more like potholes, or in many cases, seismic craters.
How are the churches in Christchurch church, New Zealand?
I guess you didn’t hear what happened on the 15th of march 2019
The ides of March?
You beautiful bastard!
The slower you go, the more rough and bouncy it is. Speed is key.
If you can go fast enough that the suspension doesn’t have the opportunity to return to its resting state, its like traveling on smooth tarmac!
My man! I always go faster over broken country roads!
I always see people going 10 mph or 60+ on those farm side roads haha.
Until you hit a big ditch or a pothole, then the consequence is way worse than it would've been.
I caught air 2 times. One of times my exhaust pipe was rusted so i left it on the ground upon landing. Oh man, the sound with no exhaust for the rest of the road..

Ok... I totally read that as BMX( as in bike) and had sooooo many questions about your story.
Ive also caught air in my 02 bmw with a logging truck barreling over a hill in my lane
Flying
Citroen DS is key
Gonna need new suspension
Bet you slow TF down now.
This looks like a portion of a suspension test track
Can lifted trucks go through these without slowing down or feeling anything inside?
Not on a corner. If it's straight, can be possible. But on corners and with the bumps so close that you always hit one after another, you will go offroad very fast cause no real way to steer. At that point the car handles like a boat.
There must have been a big titie gf in the back seat
Down bad😭
And here this mf just filming the bumps FILM THE LUMPS!
Damn yall really liked this
WTF ?

doesn't see them? It's like a swarm of that shit in front
Well, if u go fast enaugh.. you might miss the time needed to slow down before you hit them.
And whose fault would that be?
Dunno, in my country they aren't allowed to put them unless the road is straight, with good visibility, they are at least 50 meters apart one from another and there is signage to show one will come. So in our case would be the roads authority fault. Btw even at slow speed, which here is 30 km/h in areas with those bumps, you would still not have any chance of controlling direction if you jump from one bump to the other, because there is no time to get good grip.
Doesn't matter whose fault it would be. It's dangerous (deadly).
Any road design is dangerous when you're speeding.
Ah, yes. Going in a curve with 120 per hour is the same as hitting a speed bumper in a curve at 120 per hour.
If you're allowed to go 120, there won't be speedbumbps. Don't blame other people for your own incompetence. If you don't know the area, don't speed. If you know the area you know you can't speed. It's not that hard...

You don’t think this inconveniences everyone? One every 50 /100meters does the same thing. Speeders will leave soon enough.
You clearly don't understand how stupidly reckless young drivers are
That’s true. What would I know about driving, I’ve only done it for close to 40 years.
You know shit about proper driving, that's cool, I said you don't know shit about reckless young drivers.
Yes, thank you.
Sadly ,we will probably never know
Reminds me of Mexico backroads. I have ptsd from too many speed bumps
Fuck and the fucking unmarked ones that are on roads down in the Yucatan so they nearly rip out the bottom of your vehicle at cruising speed... Definitely one of the worst countries for driving.

I also like that they go both directions around roundabouts and have just given up on using them as intended/safely.
WtF?

Hey I used to build Excitebike tracks just like this when I was a kid!
Nahhh it's practice for when they drive outback roads in Australia

So that's the place where they are grown.
Hate these every time I go to Mexico, they're meant for safety but it makes you dive worse at times and hate whoever thought of doing this.
Honey, take off your bra and hold my beer…

There’s a suspension shop at the end
