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