What is the correct way for a car to pass over a speed bump?
1 Answers
The correct way for a car to pass over a speed bump is to reduce speed before crossing, then slowly pass over it with both wheels perpendicular to the bump. This method allows both left and right wheels to contract simultaneously, with the ground force being evenly distributed between the springs and shock absorbers of both wheels. Even force distribution helps minimize damage to the vehicle. Incorrect ways to drive over speed bumps include: 1. Passing with only one side's tires; 2. Driving over at high speed; 3. Crossing diagonally. Speed bumps, also known as speed humps, are traffic safety installations on roads designed to reduce the speed of motor vehicles and non-motorized vehicles.
