Is it dangerous for the car to pass the speed bump too fast?

2022-07-07

Hazards of a car passing quickly through a speed bump:
1. The tire is squeezed and deformed
The tire is the part that the car is in contact with the ground. The changes on the ground are the first to be affected. The tire is a wearing part, and the road conditions of the car will directly affect the service life of the tire. Frequent and fast passing through speed bumps can cause damage to the tire surface and even cause the rim to be squeezed and deformed.

2, The impact on the suspension
When the vehicle runs through the speed bump at high speed, the suspension system will be impacted, which will be several times or even ten times higher than normal driving, which will seriously affect the service life of shock absorbers, springs and brackets and other components. Strong impact will also cause injuries. Chassis, which will pose a threat to the brake pipeline, fuel tank, fuel pipe, exhaust pipe system and engine oil pan located at the bottom of the vehicle, and this threat is also directly related to the driving safety of the car.

3, The impact on comfort
When the vehicle quickly passes through the speed bump, the passengers in the car will react with bumps at this time, and it will make the people in the car very uncomfortable. For models with hard suspension, the passengers sitting in the back row will even jump up suddenly. At this time The head may come into contact with the roof and cause injury. At the same time, it will also raise the dust deposited in the car, pollute the air in the car, and affect the health of the occupants in the car.

Other hazards:
1. The impact on various components in the car
The strong vibration caused by the speed bump without deceleration will also have a great impact on various parts of the car, especially on many electronic devices installed in the car. For example, we usually use more audio systems, too strong bumps will still affect its sound quality and service life.

2. The harm to the chassis
For vehicles with low chassis, remember to control the speed when passing the speed bump. The vehicle passing the speed bump will definitely cause a certain impact to the vehicle, but if the vehicle speed is low, the impact will be controlled within the range that the vehicle can bear. But once it passes at high speed, it will increase the impact force and cause damage to the vehicle.

Most of the time, the reason why it is easy to support the bottom when passing vertically is because the speed of the vehicle is too fast, which causes the suspension to bounce down to a larger extent after shrinking and "knock" to the chassis, which can be avoided by slowing down a little.
