Perhaps you could get a real JCB and dig up a few bumps...

I'll chip in to help you buy it if you promise to drive everywhere with the bucket set at 0.1" to rip up all those speed bumps.

Just get a bulldozer and rip em out the ground

Apparently they can be up to 100mm high - that's why I scrape them occasionally.

Hmmmm Tractors are Road Tax Free regardless of age... Food for thought eh?.

In Scotland, road humps may be installed on all types of roads which meet the criteria set out in the Regulations and have a 30mph speed limit or less. For all 3 countries unless the road is within a 20mph zone, there must be a system of lighting conforming to the requirements of the regulations, or the hump must be lit by lighting specially provided.



theres a fair few that dont conform that i know of locally
