Do not know why I am watching this. I ride a motorbike. My approach angle is great enough I don’t now how to calculate it and with a teeny wheel base my ramp over is fantastic.
It's usually 90 degrees for approach and ramp on motorbikes and yes high clearance plus very short wheelbase means no problem and you could always pop a mono :-)
But what about situations mostly when there are so many cars around, who will allow us to experiment with such turns and occupying all the space on the road 😂😂😂
In Stavanger Norway they have speed bumps that is so bad that only offroad vehicles can drive over them in a straight line, I did observe even a Toyota Yaris that was totally stock scrape under when driving over the speed bumps there.
@@L2SFBC from where i am from. The common citizen buys hatchbacks or saloons. And lately, these have been having their ground clearance lowered with each upcoming year.
@@firemanjoe9491 my issue is not speed humps. My issue is speed humps that are not shaped to accomodate low ride height cars, which is the norm nowadays
Great tips, however is this applicable at peak traffic hour in real live scenario? Most likely out on the streest you won't have the area/space to do the movements you need. The easiest would be cities exchanging the speed bump for the ones that are lower and activate only if you speed up as not advised
That would depend on the speed bump. If you've not modified it, then it'll deal with almost all bumps. The problem cars tend to be sports cars which are low and have long overhangs at the nose.
Thanks a lot, in a month I’ll get my brand new Tesla Model 3 Performance which will have adaptive suspension (soft or hard mode) if I put the hard mode the sospensions shouldn’t be compressed and it would be much better right? I really hope so 😪
Correct, stiffer suspension will help even if there is no ground clearance change. You can see the 86's suspension is compressed, and that reduces clearance. You need to think ramp angle, not ground clearance. The two are related but different. Let me know if there's a difference, interested.
@@L2SFBC of course I will!!! Ty so much just to have followed my thought… I’ll have it in a month and I’ll let you know for sure! Btw I have an X account with hundreds of followers, do you have one? If so, where I can reach you at?
Well yeah but there are cars that low in stock and being officially sold that way. Some speed humps are just badly designed that they think 200% drivers just drive lifted 4WD.
Some people need or want a more detailed explanation. I've never quite understood why those who are smart enough to understand a concept quickly are not smart enough to grasp that simple fact. I might do one on reverse parking too, but it'd cover the pros and cons of reverse vs forward with diagrams. Probably take another 11 minutes!
@@L2SFBCA sense of humour is a sign of intelligence, Robert, you're a very clever man. I don't understand why you seem to take my banal comments so seriously. You've made some mind-blowing instructional and educational content about much more complex and unintuitive subjects, so we come to expect that from you every time. Your followers *probably* don't need this level of explanation for such basic concepts. The ones that do, are more likely failing the "try not to laugh" challenge on the Kitty-Kat channels. (next stop for me, BTW) But seriously, if that's the demographic you're aiming at, then go for it. Don't forget the models, they're the best part. I will give you a thumbs-up at the end, hoping the next vid after that is golden. Suggestion, maybe you can also tackle some of the road rules around parking.
Thanks, EM. I do get a lot of people pulling down others who require a longer explanation, and I don't like it, far too much of "people are stupid they should know" which belittles people and prevents them from learning. On an early draft the comments were "takes too long to get to the point" so I added a summary first up, then the detail. Based on review comments, I'd suggest the relationship between ground clearance and wheelbase for ramp angle isn't obvious. I'm going to explore the topic of audience/simplicity/accuracy soon. It's a difficult balance. Thank you for your feedback, I hope you enjoyed the cat cameo if you got that far in.
He's mentioned that the 86 isn't even lowered. It's stock height. Regardless of the vehicle, it's still possible to get caught out in carparks or trying to clear kerbs.. the method applies the same, as he shows at the end
But many cars are low in stock just like that Gt86 in this example. Not all sporty cars are modified. Actually because of these badly designed speed humps, it kinda suggest to spend more money for air suspension modification fitted on those sporty cars so it's possible to lift it beyond stock height.
We always called this the “JDM angle” In Detroit because it was only the tuned Japanese sports cars that sat that low. This is a great explanation and demonstration video! Thanks for sharing it!
I used to do this regardless of my ride height back when I got my p-plates! 🤣😜 Nice video as always mate, thanks for the tips and info on this subject. 🙏
Great video. Can we also have some illustrations with all seats occupied and full back trunk. The suspension would behave differently under single person load vs. fully loaded.
Just got a lowered car..love it but I have to take it on a ferry with big incline and decline. How does that work...1st lowered car I've had so really looking for advice
Okay this helps! Now what do I do if the speed bump is up a steep mountain slope (meaning I must keep momentum), on a slight right turn, but the bump is already roughly at a 45 degree angle as you approach. The degree of angle goes with the right turn, which pretty much means I need to approach it as though I am driving off the cliff, but make a sharp turn last minute to ensure I remain of the road. Did I just answer my own question? Hmm Ultimately, I need to cross the bump as though I am creating an “X”
#1:30 The sports car has the larger breakover angle (closer to 180) and the Jeep has the smaller breakover angle (less than the sports car, and closer than the sports car to 150).

What's cool is it also increases the effective wheelbase (reducing effective overhangs) for the purposes of approach and departure angles.
Yes! Covered in my Driveway video!
such a genuine teacher/trainer. I love your style of teaching.
Hope you get many more subs, good Sir!
thank you!
Great explanation
Glad you think so!

Just go slow and cross ur fingers my bro, or find another road
even the cat is taking notes LOL 5:00

Why do they build speed humps like this, knowing very well that modern cars are so low?
Modern cars are SUVs, and they would easily clear such bumps. The 86 is stock height.
@@L2SFBC from where i am from. The common citizen buys hatchbacks or saloons.

Because they also know we like to go fast… it’s a detouring us from doing that… hence “speed” bump

@@temwananinkana3419yeah, the short tall bumps that no technique can solve
Great explanation!
Hi
My car does the same when i come out of my parking garage but there is no place for me to get an angle what can i do?
It needs skid plates lol.

Yes, the technique can be used at various speeds and angles.
good video
How slowly would u say 1mph?
No faster!
Great video, sir. Could you advise on the stock mustang. Is it lower than this car or similar?
Similar. Longer wheelbase which makes it harder.
Now I know how to drive a car
Anyone who drives a Chrysler 300 SRT can tell me if it is high enough for speed bumps and stuff?
That would depend on the speed bump. If you've not modified it, then it'll deal with almost all bumps. The problem cars tend to be sports cars which are low and have long overhangs at the nose.
Poor 86😂😂
What if I also have very wide wheels scarping my fenders? 😀
Same technique
Is this stock
yes

It depends if it lowers itself or not. I think at least the Model S can do that. They do it at highway speeds for less arrow drag.
@@roflchopter11 100000% sure that height does NOT change, if so it should be useful right?

or dont use low cars

@@kornkernel2232 in my country there are speed bumps every where even if the place have to be 20km so we dont have low cars
11 and a half minutes on how to take a speed hump...Hmm. So reverse parking is going to take 2 hours.
1 min on how 10 on why ✔️
@@L2SFBC got why in first 10 seconds, i.e. so your plastic fantastic skirt doesn't scrape. The rest is just mansplaining.

@@L2SFBC yes a CAT! 3:03 Looks like she also drives a low car!!!
Oh that one. Is a girl cat.
Easy. Don't lower your car. It's unnecessary and makes car unhappy
Makes the car “unhappy”?

Love it! Yes muscle cars tend to have less of a problem, they are bigger and often look like they can better handle a dirt road.
I was literally about to make a comment about no Jeep wrangler in the video and low and behold… a RUBICON 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
im glad kitteh is learning!
Kitteh is a keen student. Not always helpful, but keen.
0:09 my exact same reaction when i crunched over a speed bump

That's why I love my Abarth 595's short wheelbase.
It helps!
We need aggregate machine to scrape about 2 inches of the speed bump off the top ffs
Well that's another solution!
Great video. Can we also have some illustrations with all seats occupied and full back trunk.

Where the requirement of putting the sticker _Be Patient I'm Lowered_ when performing this maneuver
very good!
