I crawl over speed humps but only to protect my new expensive wishbones, stays, drop links.........

The 406 used to fly over speed humps in fact I used to take them at normal road speed....I used to think I could fool the suspension into taking them so quickly it didn't have time to react....."What was that?" "what do we do now?" :lol:

Round here we've got those big square things in the middle of the road. Daft thing is that it is actually a lot smoother to straddle them doing 30 than it is stopping for each one & crawling (although I do p*ss myself laughing evrytime I see the local num-nums in their lowered Lupo & Saxo almost stopping to get over them).

Downside is, half of them are just slabs that are bolted down & quite often you can find the bolts sticking out (which has caused plenty of tyre damage in the past) or loose slabs resting atop.
