Speed bump damage
Discussion
So for the 3rd time in approx 3 years my BMW my front wheel springs (both sides) have broken with a loud bang like a shotgun, and in addition other things to do with suspension like bushes etc have gone.
Since I am only a driver, and not a mechanic, I rely heavily on my trusted garage to tell me what is wrong. Steve from the garage comes down to wherever the situation happened, and checks what the issue is, in order to be sure I do not drive the car when I shouldn't.
He strongly believes it is the EIGHT sets of speed bumps that I have to "endure" as I drive in/out of my housing estate. I would accept that perhaps the first time I was not so careful and not knowledgeable, but since then I have driven so slowly over the bumps I almost stall, and quite often get other drivers at least giving me a bad look or even fingers up, for driving so slow. (I wish I had time to tell them all why)!
I wrote the the local authority who palmed me off completely, but this time I wont give up. I plan to take them to the small claims court.
Just to let everyone else know.
