Speed bumps seem simple, but many students get this wrong and create dangerous situations.
The rule: Hit at 12
Approach at 12 mph, maintaining straight alignment
Key points
- Slow down BEFORE the bump using gentle braking
- Don't try to navigate around it - go straight over
- One tyre can go over - no need to centre perfectly
- Larger bumps are actually easier than smaller ones
- Never brake ON the bump
