Question:

Speed bumps might be too high ..?

I live in a condo community and they had 3 speed bumps in the beginning of the lot, in which the first (if your coming) or the last speed bump (if your leaving) is placed on a hill so it is hard for my car to make it over with out the car studdering over the bump or I have a hard time getting over the bump slowly although if I give it too much gas my car bottoms out on it. . that was the first issue. . the second issue is now they added 3 more that are violent in the best words thats how i'll describe the new speed bumps . . Now is there any laws that state how far away each speed bump can be placed and is there a law that permits the height of the bump? Also you should know I live in Worcester, Massachusetts . .I would really like to address this issue with the condo association promptly so any laws or advice about this would be greatly appreciated. .I'm starting to be concerned with my car!! thanks

Answer:

(1) Safety is not a goal because it can never be achieved but instead he viewed it as an effort that drivers and officials must constantly evaluate. (2) There is no finish line for safety.
Racecars will never be safe, but the technology has developed so rapidly over the passed decade, and they are quite safe. But the cars are traveling so incredibly fast, nonetheless, and accidents will happen.
No. There is a new 2012 Indy Car for next year`s series, but they will never be 100% safe. F1 has improved safety tremendously over the decades, but ovals, 220mph, inexperienced drivers mixing with experts in open wheeled cars is not a good mix. Edit: F1 and closed cockpits /sport/2011/oct
If she is a maiden mare (meaning this is her first foal) then she just doesn't know what is going on. I had to corner my maiden into a corner to allow her colt to nurse, after doing this several times she finally relaxed and bonded with the colt. I would also give a call into a vet to have the mare and filly checked, you might have to run some blood work to be sure the filly got all the benefits of the colostrum, she may not have gotten enough. Good Luck!
Yesterday one of the Announcers, at the Las Vegas race track, said that in these races, at certain tracks, there are some drivers that are apparently nervous before a race, [because of the track, not the racing]. He said that depending on the track there maybe many that are worried before the race starts. He went on to say that yesterday every driver at that track was concerned. The Las Vegas track wasn't made for racing Indy cars, it was built to race Nascar/ Stock Car type cars. Even at tracks where speed has been a concern in the Nascar races we all know they implemented restrictor plates to slow the cars down. I have been thinking, since the horrible crash that took Dan Wheldon's precious life, about just how much of their bodies are exposed below their helmets. I mean they have on fire suits but that is no match for all the flying debris from a fifteen car wreck, tires from other cars in the crash, and catch fences. At the speeds they were driving many of the vehicles went airborne, even going on top and across other other Indy cars. Do not know what the answer is other than when they begin to race again that they do not race at tracks that are not intended for Indy car races. However I pray that someone will find the answer, that someone will figure it out..and very, very soon. R.I.P. Dan Wheldon.May God be with your family The racing community has suffered a tremendous loss, a void that can never be replaced, only remembered and given honor in those memories.
