You could combine this with a passive radar detector for speed cameras that genly brakes. And a custard radar signature detector that alerts you to leaky custard speed bumps. |

Ah! A speed limit cold war. |
|

+ I could have used this before. |

Yes, [BrauBeaton], the arms race is on. I'm currently designing a ramp which will deploy across the gap created by the road and the top of the speed bump. |
|
| |
As the car utilises the ramp to jump the bump, the ramp is retracted and re-armed for the next deployment. |
|

Although I am accruing a lot of weight in hydraulics, I'm trying to keep the weight down by using titanium wherever possible. |
|
| |
The computing speed required to time this is a bit costly as well, but, as they say, "when it has to be there on time...". |
|
| |
Couldn't you just fire an anti-radar missile to take out the sensor array? 'Cause that would probably both cost and weigh less. |
|
| |
The randomly convex/concave speed bump/ditch will thwart your evil counter-measures. |

" And the spring actuated speed bumps are malfunctioning again - it's backed up all the way to the 215 - you'd better plan on being late " |

Just don't slow down, I never do in the Honda minivan (the VW Golf is a different story, but as soon as I get the new skidplate, I'm going speed bump hunting). Well, except on those big wide woop-dee-doos, have to slow for those in just about anything. |
|
| |
You'd be surprised how ineffective most speed bumps actually are; rarely does one jar much at all, and you never know until you hit it fast. |
|
| |
(If you have a low car, lookout, you could lose your oil pan) |
|
| |
Hmmm, I wonder how the infinity Q45a (a is for active suspension) handled speed bumps? Theoretically should have smoothed them out perfectly, but I bet they put something in the software to give you a bit of a jolt on purpose. |
