It is not uncommon that some car owners ignore the existence of the deceleration zones, where humps are deliberately placed to reduce the speed of vehicles.
Alternatively some motorist will reduce their speed only for their front two wheels to past through, before accelerating to go through the deceleration zones.
However, these two methods of driving over a hump is extremely harmful to the vehicle, in particular, affecting the suspension of the vehicle.
Today, we will be sharing more on the topic of the aftermath of not decelerating in controlled speed areas.
When the vehicle passes through the speed reduction hump at high speed, the suspension system will be squeezed and impacted, which will be several times or even ten times higher than that during the normal driving conditions. This will seriously affect the service life of shock absorbers, springs and brackets and other components.
Injury of the chassis (the bottom of the car), which includes the braking system located at the bottom of the car as well as the tanks, tubing, exhaust pipe system and the engine oil pan threat will all surface after prolong driving in such a manner.
Furthermore, if the vehicle does not decelerate through the deceleration zone, passengers in the car , will feel very uncomfortable (if it had been motion sickness, that feeling ...), for the harder suspension models, sit Passengers in the back row may even injure themselves in severe situations.
In addition, this will also severely affect the performance of the tyres of your car. Tires are the only parts of a vehicle that come into contact with the ground and are the most common parts that goes through wear and tear. Often, passing the speed reduction band quickly damages the surface of the tire and can even cause the rim to crush and deform.
Hence, we will strongly advice you to drive with caution when passing through the humps!
