Ok so abit of a random question, how do you drive over speed bumps to avoid pain! They have recently resurfaced most of the roads in my area which was well over due, they used to have 2 square type speed bumps every now and again on the road. These USED to be made from some sort of rubber/soft material and rarely would cause me much pain. Now they have decided to install 2x concrete humps every 100 yards or so and omg do they cause me pain. Almost every hump will hurt my back or even worse cause it to go into spazm which is not the best position to be in while driving.

    Hi
    It's not easy with those speed bumps I try to make sure I get my wheels as close to the edges of the bumps and go slowly over them this seems to help and my car doesn't wobble over the bumps if that makes sense!!
