The ones I'm talking about are the ones that are made of black plastic and have reflectors in them and nearly as tall as they are wide. First time I had it happen was at the Sainsbury's near where I work (they have had the car park re-surfaced and tarmac bumps put in). Next time was at Asda near where I live. This one had an added complication. Where everybodies wheels had hit, the plastic had flattened a little into two ruts about half the depth of the bump. Which meant that your exhaust is bound to hit the raised centre section as the suspension compresses on the other side. 3rd time was getting petrol, but the BP station that it happened shares a speed bump with the MOT station that has history of moting the car. Again it was a hideous plastic bolt down speed bump, that you only tend to see on private roads, and silly little back streets. -- Carl Robson (The poster formerly known as Skodapilot) http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
