But I’m slowly getting over it.

    There is a TikTok account that posts videos of nice cars like Corvettes and stuff going over speed bumps in front of their house. The sign is covered by a tree, and the speed bump isn’t painted yellow, so people just don’t see it.

    Instead of cutting down one of the branches to make the sign clear, or telling the city to paint it yellow, they get entertainment out of others severely damaging their cars.

    So fuck them. They deserve the fumes.

    Edit: also, speed bumps are just crappy in general, because the people that would do the most damage and run people over, are the people in lifted trucks with upgraded suspension parts. The same people that can drive over speed bumps without slowing down.

    Or better yet, when it is two separate speed bumps with the middle cut out, and trucks with the wide tires and spacers can just drive with their tires completely on the sides missing the speed bump all together.

    Speed bumps are just there to inconvenience the people who would be less likely to speed or have a child actually become run over by the vehicle.

      The fastest car over a speed bump isn’t a lifted truck with off road suspension, it’s my rental car.
