No signage. Result, people go flying That article is dated 2013. Have those ones in the video been there that long? In the comments (in one video) it says that there is a 25MPH limit on the road. This is sign posted. About 100 yds from the bumps the posted speed is reduced to 10MPH. These certainly do not fit in with any of the recommendations which are published from various bodies. Twin speed bumps so close together are not acceptable because of the risks you see. Both to the damaging of the vehicles and to possible loss control.

DSdriver Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Whilst waiting at the lights I noticed that the blue BMW alongside had an incredible dose of BL orange peel paint finish. I was even more surprised when it pulled away and I could see it was a 22 plate. Are they coming out of the factory like that ? It made me laugh that the driver was obviously ignorant of the passenger side's paintwork or just thought that it was acceptable on a new car.

People don't seem to give a fuck about paint finish. Some Toyotas and Hondas have better paint than German premium brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cort16 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Many a "brand new" car goes out of the dealership without brand new paint work. My mate used to work for a large Scottish car dealer as a painter and he spent quite a lot of his time fixing paint on cars that weren't even registered yet that had been damaged in transit or in the compound. The customer was none the wiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d often see unregistered cars in their yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The customer was none the wiser. Nothing new. 1990 I worked at a Vauxhall dealer and at the time there was always 1 or 2 brand new cars in the paint shop. I bet for every transporter load, one would get paint. One I recall was a doom blue Carlton which has been on the lower deck and the chain securing the car above had come free. That was a right mess. It went out on August 1st looking lovely. That's why you often see new cars on transporters all sheeted up with protective film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
