Speedbump

F1F93

That looks like a perfectly standard speed bump. If anything, it looks very shallow.
I've gone over speed bumps taller than that at 20mph and not scraped my bumper.

If you are still scraping your bumper on that then you're either driving incorrectly (i.e too fast) or you've lowered your car too much. I don't see how this is anyone elses fault.

I also highly doubt that as many cars as you suggest are also scraping their bumper.




EDIT:
Also, in your picture, both the Ford and the Audi are far from scraping their bumpers on the speed bump. You've just provided photographic evidence proving that you're a troll.

Wrong, cars turning right into the road are getting caught because of the angle caused by the camber in the road. I can see that would be a problem for a lot of cars.

Not sure if serious.

Have a read of http://www.ukroads.org/webfiles/tal07-96.pdf and see if the hump is the correct dimensions. If it is, then there's not much you can do about it.

Looks like more than the recommended 100mm height with 1:10 ramps to me.

Time to get your spirit level & tape measure out

Call this a bump ? your own photo taken full frame shows it's totally normal .

Well it isn't if its causing vehicle damage. If you had to go over this bump every evening and scrape your car would you say the bump is fine then?

Whether the OP is right or wrong about the speed bump, he is not a troll. Trolls purposely wind people up or waste their time. OP has spent plenty of his own time engaging and providing photos.
Just by looking at the photo anotherbaldrick quotes in post#37, I think I can see the problem.
The bump looks fine - it's a shallow angle and doesnt go up too high. The problem, as some other posters seem to have noticed, is the big dip, basically the cycle lane, towards the bump. Instead of going from flat to the 'uphill' that the start of the bump provides, you're going downhill then immediately uphill. You're being nosedived into the front of the bump.
If you can get a meeting with someone on site, and a few neighbours with normal cars, to show the problem, it should convince them to do something about it.
Or find some tarmac and fill it in yourself!

Who has iq tests????
Anyway camber is the issue here. Pictures of the DAF prove not a troll. Andy et al hope your implied appology is accepted.

It rises from kerb valley line to top of pavement, 200mm over a distance of 1m , this is what you would expect from any drop kerb situation if you had access to an off road driveway. If the car is grounding on this it is riding too low.
