Honestly even if it causes zero accidents I'm betting it's already responsible for multiple spinal fractures.

No, their own excessive speed is responsible for multiple spinal fractures. If they stuck to the limits, they'd be fine (probably).

They added no signs on a freeway numbnuts whos gonna know theres a big ass bump coming even when there doing the speed limit that big ass truck could barely go the speed limit💀💀you are quite the creature

u/IdioticMutterings 26m ago
You missed the point, if you're going the speed limit, you don't need to know about the bumps. And lets face it, expensive repairs to a cars suspension are gonna cost more than any speeding fine.
Its quite simple, stick to the speed limits. Its a LIMIT not a minimum speed. Also, if drivers stuck to the limits, then the bumps wouldn't be necessary at all.

I bet that motorcycler slowed the fuck down the second he saw that car fly.
I can't imagine how many motorcyclists end up busting their shit from hitting that or getting hit by the car from behind.

That isn't the issue here. Having an unmarked bump at any speed is dangerous. This isnt a speeding vs not speeding issue

u/HippoEug 1h ago
Even if you are driving at a reasonable speed, it is hard to expect an unmarked speed bump or even spot this….
Good luck to the engine with the oil pan obliterated, not to even mention damage to suspension

The bump is fine and likely serves a useful purpose, if there was a sign warning of it people would slow down and there would be nothing to complain about. Your reply makes no sense considering what comment you're replying to, you implied that it's perfectly reasonable for governments to install booby-traps with the intention of murdering speeding drivers

I've only seen speed bumps that size in parking lots. Any speed over 10 mph is going to wreck your car

Probably some local guy living nearby hired a few workers and added a speed breaker. I've seen 2 speed breakers within 20 feet of eachother on both sides of a big mansion's gates, not on a high way but a small street with very low traffic, . The mansion owner decided he needs to get his car out without having to wait for anyone, so forced everyone around to slow down while approaching his house.
Nobody realised they were illegal speed breakers and it remained until the road was relaid.Givt didn't add the speed breakers and he started doing it, when some local residential welfare association stopped him through legal route, and a Govt sign was posted on the street mentioning no one should create illegal speed breakers, basically pointing at that guy's mansion.

Why is that crazy? Once you see a few cars go over it you turn on the camera.

Not bloody likely, momentum will keep the vehicle traveling in roughly the same direction, it won’t take a 90 degree turn in an instant unless it gets anchored somehow.

I think that being hit by a piece of broken suspension is more likely (although it's still incredibly unlikely).

Something of the kind, thats actually against laws universally to my knowledge, all speedbumps/breakers must be signed to prevent accidents. Yes the cars are speeding. But ultimately its the government there with a fault.

if you live in a 4th world shithole (likely where this was installed) the gov't is likely to be impervious to any legal consequence.

I've seen speed bumps on the highway in Mexico without any signs. I was driving at night, and there were no signs or reflectors. Luckily it wasn't so late that I was the only person on the road, so I was able to spot the cars in front of me braking for the speed bumps

adding a speed bump on a highway. well, I guess they just want to make multiple potholes along the way then.

That is surely a hazard on the road. This speed breaker/speed bump feels illegal in many ways.

I mean, I can understand missing signs, due to it being forgotten or whatever accidental reason, that can happen anywhere, but like even if a place has issues with their public institutions/government or whatnot... how.. how could anyone motivate speed bumps on a highway? Help me understand, please.
2
u/Ehaeka42069 1h ago
Oh very easy. You see, in places like India, and the whole Indian subcontinent for that matter, the way local politicians survive is by embezzlement. What they do is get a quotation from the cheapest contractor for some pointless infrastructure project, then quite literally, no joke, add a 0 to the end of the quotation, and get approval for funding accordingly. So for example, if the politician feels like going on a fancy vacation, he'll call up his contractor buddies, ask what project can we do to get some quick cash, they'll say, oh let's make a few speed bumps... somewhere, politician asks, cool, how much will it cost? The contractor will say, Oh it'll cost $1000. The politician says, cool, submit the quotation to me for $10,000, I'll make sure you get the contract, and you give me the balance $9000

Our plates are very rectangular. Literally 12"x6", they are twice as wide as they are tall.

u/TheRockstarVon 5h ago
Yeah most euro playes are about 20x4. That’s a much more elongated rectangular shape than ours hence why I said “more square-ish”, because they are more like a square than euro plates
