Speed Bumps

Post by EMM »

There is a new one on the road that goes from the statue roundabout past Monte Santo.
Is this the first of many as in Ferragudo to slow down traffic.
Could seriously impact on the taxi drivers who I think must have a competition gong on who can do the various round trips at night in the shortest time.

I find them very dangerous when travelling at high speed, they should be banned. :mrgreen:

Last time we drove around Ferragudo, some helpful soul had cut slots in the speedbumps so that you could go right through them without needing to slow, or damage your suspension.

Last time I drove from Ferrugado I had a little side bet with mrs Soap on the number of bumps I could avoid. Complained I was driving too close to the footpath whenever I did manage to miss the bumps with all 4 wheels. :roll:

Your right Sam, couldn't sleep last night knowing I was breaking the law :cry: , but I thought of a solution.

Going to hand myself into the Roundup. Let Big Will throw the book at me and imprison me in his little gaol or just fine me (a few drinks) instead.

If the Jailhouse reopens I will hand myself in there well :)
