Some years ago I saw a car towing a trailer go over a speed bump, and it seems if you trailer isn't attached tightly enough and it scrapes the ground while doing so you can get very impressive sparks.

Whatever, just wash your hands.
Gotta kinda feel sorry for anyone that had a fragile package in the Amazon truck at 1:10
Those remind me of the kind speed bump put into a neighborhood near where I used to live. They weren't that close together and there were good warnings, but one was also put right next to a drive way and not to long after they were put in, someone trying to turn into or out of that driveway had their front wheel snap on it.

Speed humps are only a thing because of certain people’s utter inability to follow rules. They’re fucking annoying but there are two on my street which means I no longer have to put up with dickheads treating it like it’s a drag strip.

I dunno, I feel that they're going to cause more accidents than they prevent if that video is anything to go by. Not that people should be speeding like that, but it seems like people are just going to do it anyway and even the cars that went slow didn't look like they were taking the humps well.

There is a bit on an art to them, and it varies how they’re designed. There are large ones that can fit an average car on the raised area: they’re simple enough, go the posted limit and unless your car is super lowered you’ll coast over it. The bastard ones are the tall ones that are only about the depth of a coppers log. Going over them, even slowly, can cause you to bottom out and hear your undercarriage go ouch.
