What is the optimal speed to pass speed bumps without damaging the car?
1 Answers
Vehicles should generally pass speed bumps at around 20 km/h. The classification of speed bumps is as follows: 1. Cement speed bumps: These are relatively higher, allowing vehicles to pass slightly faster. Generally, speeds between 20-30 km/h cause minimal shaking. For larger vehicles, speeds of 30-40 km/h are acceptable. Such speed bumps pose little harm to tires but require consideration of the vehicle's ground clearance. 2. Metal speed bumps: These are usually lower with an inverted V-shape. While they don't harm the chassis, they can damage tires. The recommended speed is around 40 km/h, though slower speeds are better for tire protection. 3. Liquid speed bumps: The slower the better when passing these, with optimal speeds below 10 km/h. 4. Rubber speed bumps: These are primarily taller but don't damage tires. The recommended passing speed is below 40 km/h, which aligns with the speed limit requirements in areas where such bumps are installed.
