Spee bumps. Speed humps. They will scrape your sports car or lowered car. So how can you drive over them without a scrape? Watch to find out!

Comments on your comments: 1. Here's the driveway video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIPGd3uqlq1nbqc 2. Stiffer suspension helps even if no ground clearance increase. If you can raise your suspension temporarily, then do that as well. 3. Yes there's a cat, well spotted.

I was literally about to make a comment about no Jeep wrangler in the video and low and behold… a RUBICON 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

I used to do this regardless of my ride height back when I got my p-plates! 🤣😜 Nice video as always mate, thanks for the tips and info on this subject. 🙏

What's cool is it also increases the effective wheelbase (reducing effective overhangs) for the purposes of approach and departure angles.

Yes! Covered in my Driveway video!

But what about situations mostly when there are so many cars around, who will allow us to experiment with such turns and occupying all the space on the road 😂😂😂

Why do they build speed humps like this, knowing very well that modern cars are so low?

@L2SFBC Ай бұрын

Modern cars are SUVs, and they would easily clear such bumps. The 86 is stock height.

@@L2SFBC from where i am from. The common citizen buys hatchbacks or saloons. And lately, these have been having their ground clearance lowered with each upcoming year.

How come after watching your channel for so long, I only just now find out about CAT! More cat.

#1:30 The sports car has the larger breakover angle (closer to 180) and the Jeep has the smaller breakover angle (less than the sports car, and closer than the sports car to 150).

Just got a lowered car..love it but I have to take it on a ferry with big incline and decline. How does that work...1st lowered car I've had so really looking for advice

Thanks a lot, in a month I’ll get my brand new Tesla Model 3 Performance which will have adaptive suspension (soft or hard mode) if I put the hard mode the sospensions shouldn’t be compressed and it would be much better right? I really hope so 😪

@roflchopter11 Ай бұрын

It depends if it lowers itself or not. I think at least the Model S can do that. They do it at highway speeds for less arrow drag.

@itskech Ай бұрын

@@roflchopter11 100000% sure that height does NOT change, if so it should be useful right?

@L2SFBC Ай бұрын

Correct, stiffer suspension will help even if there is no ground clearance change. You can see the 86's suspension is compressed, and that reduces clearance. You need to think ramp angle, not ground clearance. The two are related but different. Let me know if there's a difference, interested.

@roflchopter11 no, stiffer suspension helps even with no ground clearance change.

@L2SFBC Ай бұрын

Some people need or want a more detailed explanation. I've never quite understood why those who are smart enough to understand a concept quickly are not smart enough to grasp that simple fact. I might do one on reverse parking too, but it'd cover the pros and cons of reverse vs forward with diagrams. Probably take another 11 minutes!

@@L2SFBCA sense of humour is a sign of intelligence, Robert, you're a very clever man. I don't understand why you seem to take my banal comments so seriously. You've made some mind-blowing instructional and educational content about much more complex and unintuitive subjects, so we come to expect that from you every time. Your followers *probably* don't need this level of explanation for such basic concepts. The ones that do, are more likely failing the "try not to laugh" challenge on the Kitty-Kat channels. (next stop for me, BTW) But seriously, if that's the demographic you're aiming at, then go for it. Don't forget the models, they're the best part. I will give you a thumbs-up at the end, hoping the next vid after that is golden. Suggestion, maybe you can also tackle some of the road rules around parking.

@L2SFBC Ай бұрын

Thanks, EM. I do get a lot of people pulling down others who require a longer explanation, and I don't like it, far too much of "people are stupid they should know" which belittles people and prevents them from learning. On an early draft the comments were "takes too long to get to the point" so I added a summary first up, then the detail. Based on review comments, I'd suggest the relationship between ground clearance and wheelbase for ramp angle isn't obvious. I'm going to explore the topic of audience/simplicity/accuracy soon. It's a difficult balance. Thank you for your feedback, I hope you enjoyed the cat cameo if you got that far in.
