For those out there that have a low car.
Not your lowered saxo or clio but i mean a race or drift spec RX7 or Skyline.
Is there a POi database for roads with speed humps?
Or how can i make my units avoid this.
Units i have
Navman N40i, Navman 510,
Tomtom Go 300,
Mio Digiwalker 168.
Thank you |

I was going to say stick to the main roads, but these days Transport For London are even putting humps in "A" roads. It's very irritating because the smaller you vehicle is the harder it hits the humps. 
I'm tempted to get one of those bloody stupid big 4x4s and stick two fingers up to the lot of them.

Sure, i'd probably do more than that much worth of damage to my car per year by hitting speed bumps. 
Quite aside from that, IF I could afford the £40-50,000 asking price for a new BMW X5 then I wouldn't be that worried about the £400 road tax...
