Jockey wheels and speed bumps.

[Mick Stockbridge]

My third jockey wheel in as many years.

You take a perfectly good road and ruin it by putting in big humps, where's the logic in it?

 

They love putting the poxy things in round my way, so much so that I'm restricted as to what roads I can use without fear of breaking another.

Carn you take it off mick then put it back on m8 that's what I do and mine is fine tom

[Le Sanglier]

Only three in three years! pretty good going I'd say.

[Mick Stockbridge]

That's the three I forgot to take off Tom.

 

One is too many Stumpgrinder. They've been slapping speed bumps in all over the place, probably to use up money before the end of the financial year.

 

It really annoy's me that I can't drive where I want anymore.

I hate the things. If a road has a 30mph limit then the local authority should make sure it's safe to travel at that speed.

They just stuck some doozies in on an upgrade on one of our town centre streets. Needed a 4wd to get over them 4 of them put in. A day after the grand reopening of the street one of the four has already been levelled. Apparently a normal family saloon bellied out on it.

Yup, they put some in near me and people were planting flags on the summit, they had to rip them out becasue people were loosing exhausts and plastic bumpers on them. Made the road unfit for use.

Nonsense! Are you saying that all country lanes need either closing off or all the curves and corners taken out so one can drive 60?

 

Seems that getting speed bumps right is quite difficult. There's one near me that's in a 40, and when crossed at 42 you hardly know its there, at 30 or 50 it'll shake your spine out. (Took quite a bit of testing)

 

Perhaps write a few cross letters to your local council, with pics of the damage, and get some other locals to do so as well.

around our neck of the woods the low loaders seem to do a pretty good bump removal service

Try cutting the bar with the wheel on it in two then weld a solid bar inside one end ,leaving a stump about 4" long sticking out when you are letting the chipper down put the two end together , if working on soft ground make a 2nd leg use a flat plate welded to a bar and it wont sink in the ground.
