MODERATORS
bigger cars react worse to speed bumps, not better.
more mass is more inertia to dampen.
more height is more leverage you feel sitting up higher.
A lifted Ford Ranger Raptor doesn't even need to brake for them.
A lowered hot hatch at the same speed goes airborne.
It's all about the amount of travel on the shock absorbers. Small and sporty cars have almost none.
The "more mass = more intertia to dampen" rule doesn't come into play until it's your face absorbing the radiator grill.
If you're driving a truck over a speed bump at a speed that would launch a hatchback into the air, you are driving way too fucking fast over that speedbump.
It happens at half the speed limit.
i highly doubt that
you clearly haven't seen the speed limits some cities keep after installing speed bumps
gimme your highest example
25 or 30 mph
