Those awful motorway bridge ridges will end up damaging my car

If you've ever driven south down the M6 past Lancaster Services you'll know what I mean when I say I hate those bridge ridges.

To explain what I mean by ridges this annoying phenomenon occurs when the motorway goes over a road and therefore is effectively a bridge. I'm no engineer but the bridge obviously has to be constructed in sections, rather than one complete piece, and where these sections are connected there's a ridge.

There's another section of the M6 which is far from smooth; between Junction 32 and 31. At times it can feel like your car is close to flying. They're little more than speed bumps. He told me that when you travel too fast over a speed bump, your shocks are unable to absorb the energy that rapidly, which can cause damage like bending out of shape or leaking hydraulic fluid. If this happens often enough, the shocks can begin to break down and will be unable to protect your car.So imagine driving over a 'bad' bump, or those motorway bridge ridges, at 70mph. It must cause some damage.
