ON several occasions recently I have been driving slowly and carefully over speed humps when I have been overtaken. This happens regularly when I am driving down Gale Lane in Acomb and one day occurred twice, once in Gale Lane and once in Heslington Road.
My car is only small and I drive slowly so that I don't damage it. It seems to me that this is another example where the careful, considerate driver risks causing damage to his vehicle driving over speed humps while the people we are trying to slow down continue to drive recklessly.
If those people are prepared to overtake in that situation it seems to me that the speed humps are a waste of time.
It would be interesting to hear if other people have had similar experiences of being overtaken while negotiating these speed humps.
