The Useless "Speed Bump" Sleep Police

Who knows where it starts the bumps on the road are named as sleep police. Indonesians do have many stories but they are not accompanied by sufficient analogies to unravel them. Stories, names, titles, origins are indeed important identities, but living what is there is more important than anything. That is the reason why we should walk with our eyes in front, not backwards.

Likewise, when we pass a fairly large speed bump, it takes patience and caution so that our vehicles don't get scuffed due to the shock. Ahh .. really troublesome, but that's the situation, like life that does need a little struggle for a smooth road without obstacles.

Apart from the philosophy of the writing above, the existence of speed bumps is indeed quite helpful even though it is a bit inconvenient. With bumps on the road, it makes drivers who are often reckless in fast driving think twice before accelerating their vehicle speed. This can reduce the risk of accidents on the road.

Of course the application of speed bumps has rules. The speed bumps must resemble a trapezoid with a maximum height of 12 cm, the slanted sides have the same slope for a maximum of 15 percent, and a flat top width of at least 15 cm. The rules for making speed bumps are in accordance with the Decree of the Minister of Transportation No 3 of 1994 concerning Controlling and Safety Equipment for Road Users.

But unfortunately many do not know these rules so that many residents make sleep police at will. People who care about the roads in their hometowns begun to build bumps of various kinds, from very small to large ones, which are perfect for crashing the cover of motorbikes and sedan car chassis.

Not only that, in some areas it is even more annoying. Speed bumps were built on the middle uphill road. You can imagine if using an old motorbike with outdated engine capabilities. It feels tortured to pass the incline in which there is a speed bump in the middle. Absolutely useless.

There are also those who build speed bumps with a very close distance, less than five meters there is already a bump again. A very tough trial for motorists who are in a hurry to want to relieve themselves, what a pity.

There is also a funny thing, where they force to making sleep police by relying on large ropes and thick wood. It looks creative but it's too much. Usually this happens near the school area and when there is a celebration event. Ahh .. what a useless speed bump.

Maybe you have experienced cringe when you hear the bottom of your vehicle touching the bumps. Krakkk ...!
