How Much Damage Do Speed Bumps Actually Cause to Vehicles?
1 Answers
Hazards are relatively significant. If the vehicle speed is not properly controlled and the car passes over a speed bump at high speed, it can damage the shock absorbers and suspension structure. Speed bumps should always be traversed at low speed to avoid excessive jolting of the vehicle. Below are some techniques for crossing speed bumps: Reduce speed in advance: Observe the road conditions ahead in advance, especially when the vehicle is already in a speed-limited section. Reduce speed, apply linear braking upon spotting the speed bump, and slow down beforehand to approximately 10~20 km/h. Cross the bump with both wheels simultaneously: Ensure both wheels pass over the speed bump together. Having the left and right wheels contact the bump simultaneously balances the impact force between both tires, distributing the load evenly across the suspension systems on both sides to minimize damage.
