Everyone actually to breake down to a crawling pase to get over them. But normal cars (say a V70) wont have a problem if that person takes it easy.

Speed, replace several things on the car


Sounds like the speed bumps in Mexico.

Like I said, ours are a joke. Many people go faster so they can jump them

Really, I don't think speeding is the issue here. The issue is people who don't know how to drive. Unlike Europe, it's the easiest thing in the world to get a license here. I think I paid $100 for the most useless driving class (he taught me how to operate a vehicle, not drive one), $20 for the test and license. It costs $20-30 to get it renewed every 5 years (I think, don't remember ).

That being the case, we have some of the dumbest people on the road. It's completely normal to have someone go 20 under the speed limit in the passing lane, not use turn signals, and even swerve into your lane. Not to mention the people who talk on cell phones while driving. I got behind some woman the other day at a light. She was first and I was second in line, and the light turned green. Well, she was too busy on her phone to notice! She didn't notice until it turned yellow. Very very unfortunately I was in my car and the fuse that allows the horn to honk was out. If I had of been in my truck, my airhorns would have gotten her off that stupid phone real fast. So, rising gas prices have forced me to sit at lights with a substandard horn because I can't afford to drive my truck. Amazing correlations

At my other job it was opposite. People would be going 40 in a 55 mph zone on my way home at 9pm. At least there are not many cars on the road that late.

Muwahaha...great to live in an oily state- Oklahoma.

I wish I could buy some wells. I'd build me a mini-refinery and open up a gas station. Throw the finger at OPEC, and give Oklahomans Oklahoma gasoline at a cheaper price.
