These Speed Bumps Only Turn Solid If You Are Driving Too Fast

( jalopnik.com )

These Speed Bumps Only Turn Solid If You Are Driving Too Fast I understand that speed bumps are an important piece of road design and help cut road fatalities by forcing careless drivers to slow down, but I really do hate them.
