Is this legal?

Post by Mooncat »

Coming around a corner on my bicycle, I could have been unseated by this:

Killer ramp!

Easy does it!

Scraping noises!

Is there a maximum height for a hump? Minimum distance from warning sign?
I started out with nothing, I still have most of it.

They are using the wrong size ramps for that pipe/hose, if that was my car i'd be playing hell with them, and reporting it. :angryfire:

anyone got a dodgy exhaust?
Get over to that site, drive over the ramp and hey presto! New Exhaust courtesy of the site dumbos :thumbright:
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Is it a public road?

It just looks like a farm track to me :?

It is a public road, unclassified, usually well covered with cowsh*t and mud. I think that fat pipe is carrying slurry from the cowshed to the field.

It seems strange that they don't fill a muck spreader and move it that way. Wouldn't the farmer be liable for damage to vehicles as they drive over the ramp. Have you spoken to anyone in your local council about it, they'd be able to give you advice?
