More specifically, bumps with a sharp ninety degree edge, created by the asphalt being cut and 2 to 4 ins of ashphalt removed on one side of the cut. Drivers will slow to a crawl and gingerly drive over the bump. I will drive over the same bump at 8 to 10 mph without giving it a second thought.
I am guessing these drivers have had bent or cracked rims by drivng over these bumps. Low profile tires and alloy rims lead to costly damage.
I have never owned a vehicle with tire profile lower than 70. I have had trucks for the last forty years and, prior to that, had VW Beetles and 411s and buses with high profile tires. These bumps have never bothered me.
