Grumpy Old Men - Speedhumps

CrazyChemist_2

I remember reading a book called "Grumpy Old Men" and it had a quote on speedhumps, it went something like this:

"how is having the bejesus whacked out of your car chassis supposed to ‘calm’ us down?"

However, I'm doing an article at the moment and can't find the exact quote after a full internet search but was hoping one of you had the book or knew the exact quote??

"The whole language of speed bumps, in fact, is pretty odd. Take the phrase 'traffic calming.' It's unclear how traffic is supposed to be 'calmed' by being slowed down to four mph while cars have the bejesus whacked out of their chassis and the old chap in front of you is approaching each bump as though it were the River Styx itself."

I dont have the book - found it on a website
