What are the effects on a car if it doesn't slow down when passing speed bumps?
1 Answers
Frequently passing speed bumps without slowing down can affect the car's suspension, wheels, and interior components. Car Suspension: When a vehicle passes over a speed bump, there is a noticeable impact and a barely perceptible deceleration. Although speed bumps are not completely vertical, they always have some angle. When passing over this angle, the speed bump exerts resistance on the tires, which is directly transmitted to the suspension and then to the car body, resulting in a complete impact. Wheels: This primarily affects mid-to-high-end cars equipped with large-sized wheels and wide, low-profile tires. The sidewall thickness of the tires serves as the first level of shock absorption for the car. The greater the thickness, the more compression it can absorb. If the car doesn't slow down when passing a speed bump, the momentary state is that the tire gets flattened, then hits the wheel rim, and finally returns to the road surface. Each instance of such driving will impact the wheel rim, and over time, it will naturally cause damage to the wheels. Interior Components: This includes electronic configurations, interior panels, CD players, car audio systems, and other visible components. Upon closer inspection, these are all fixed with screws or clips. Frequently passing speed bumps without slowing down can cause rattling noises in the interior components.
