Here’s an interesting concept in speed bump design. This speed bump flattens out when you cross over it at low speeds. The idea behind it is that it would reward careful slow drivers who cross over it at speeds below 15mph by giving them smooth ride over the speed bump.

Those who are speed demons will get hit with the bump and really feel it. Drivers traveling at safe speeds can drive right over the speed bump without having to slow down at all. Very clever. That should help keep everyone safe. The downside is that it forces everyone to slow down. People are speeding because they hate slow. Slow is slow.

Slow is getting to work late, missing 5 minutes of CSI. Slow is…Damn, that speed bump just punished me again and sent me flying in the air. I hate you speed bump.
