| Over height speed humps cause enormous amounts of damage to vehicles.I think it was Bedford park where they had to replace all the speed humps because they installed over height ones and buses and ambulances were grounding out and getting stuck on them.A lot of other cars reported sump damage and it cost the council a huge amount to pay for the vehicle repairs, and replace the humps, which at the time cost £3000 each.Saying that.The humps in Thames road at the moment are totally ineffective. The wheels of my car are wider than the humps.I suspect the cars you see speeding along Thames road are also larger vehicles whose wheels can pass either side of the humps. |
