Speed Bumps are annoying...

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you just ignored them and don’t slow down? Before you try, you may want to watch the simulations...

Admittely of 100 bumps in a row, but the point still stands... :)

What is this simulator? I’m imagining all the time I could waste with it.

Not my video but the title says this.

Looks like this: https://www.beamng.com/

Amazing fun and tons of potential time wasted, but so frustrating to actually drive in. You’ll see.

Actually, I did it in real life. The faster you go, the easier it is on your back and stuff. Suspension was made just for that sort of abuse... just won’t last.

As for multiple speed bumps, well, that’s a different beast all together.

by the way, when cops race to the crime through the city and encounter a speed bump, they don’t slow down for them. They go as fast as they can.

This was my inspiration to try and go as fast as possible (legally) over the bump to see what happens.

To my surprise, it was much much smoother.

It’s just a head game. If I hit this bump slower, it will hurt less, so people crawl over them. But actually, suspension is made just for that sort of jarring.

I find more and more things that are nothing more than head games.

During rush hour traffic, a merge onto a highway had a red/green light. It was always red and as you got closer, it turned green. As you’re driving, it’s instinct to slow down for red light ahead.

What I learned though, was the light was motion sensored. Gunning right through it without slowing down, made the light turn green and I didn’t have to slow down. Cops can’t say I ran red light cuz it turned green.

Just a head game is all

I’m not sure slaloming is any faster... :)

And as soon someone figures out you can rush over one or two, they’ll put up 100... :)

I know two speed bumps will turn an uparmored 7-Series into a paperweight if you’re going fast enough.

I hope they do. I will finally have an excuse to get a bulldozer

Haha, I forgot about BeamNG. Still need to buy that sim :)

One speed bump is an excuse for a bulldozer

I do that at the border every time. They always look at me funny but no one has said anything.

The only car to make it across all 100 speed bumps, at last mostly intact, was an 80 series Land Cruiser. And it was only the very last bump that got it,

Those speed bumps are way to tall. Most of these cars would bottom out on them.

I dont mind the speed hump type. Those I have never had a problem with. But the ones that are like driving over a fucking curb are the worst. Even at like 5 mph my Miata will hit the bottom of the car on those things with any sort of suspension deflection. So I have to crawl over at like 1 mph and try to attack it diagonally. And my car isnt even low! Seeing as the paint is always missing on 90% of speed bumps, it means they are too damn high.

I love this game! It’s great, the physics are very fun. Big open worlds, and lots of different vehicles to drive. From rock-crawling to road courses. It does help to have a racing wheel, or its very hard to countersteer properly

But Ford also doesn’t put 35-aspect tires on a friggin police SUV...

Suspension might be made for it, the tires and rims aren’t.

What car is the white/blue #6 shown at 7:37 supposed to be? I feel like I should know what it is, but I cannot place it.

Reminds me of a Datsun 510, or maybe a Lada, but that’s not quite right, is it? I’m drawing a blank.

Fucking hell, these things are like Mexico’s speed bumps. I would like to see with more “soft” or low and long speed bumps.

Also what speed are the vehicles carrying?

FrankN.Stein > CaptDale - is secretly British

the speed is at the bottom of the screen. Small and under the progress bar if that doesn’t vanish.

Yes thank you. I saw that a few cars in after my comment. I would like to see what just regular freeway speeds would do.

Notes:

American Muscle car burst into flames

Land Crusier clone seems to have gone furthest/engine was still running/looked like it would not have been that painful a ride.

BMW M5 clone transmission popped out within first 50 speed humps.

Man that game is trying. But the way that truck bounces just driving down a straight road sort of ruins any sort of credibility
