Lambeth Council Deathtraps

If you read elsewhere within my blog you will know that I hate speed bumps. It is a sure fire bet that they will wreck tyres, steering, springs, shock absorbers, wheel bearings and spoilers and with me recently, prop shaft bearing and gearbox mounting. They bring you down to the same speed as cyclists so you cannot get clear of them so they are always down your inside, this is dangerous and it's not good for me and it's not good for them. Once these speed bumps deteriorate they become a dangerous hazard if you are on foot crossing the road or if you are on a bicycle or trying to negotiate them in a vehicle.Perhaps a battle tank would be the answer
