I had the best idea ever yesterday. Speed bumps are bad, damage cars and don't really work. What is needed is a replacement device that does work and doesn't damage cars. Introducing, "The ElectroMagnetic Field Car Slower Thingy Device" (EMFCST). The EMFCST is based upon the principle of magnetic things moving through another magnetic thing produces an electical current. It works by place big magnetics underneath roads with a very precise magnetic attraction. If cars go to fast over these magnetics KASSAP! Electric Shocks-A-Go-Go! If you drive slowly though this won't happen. The EMFCST has the added benefit of working better on cars that are lower to the ground and have large magnets inside them. (Think that through people, what cars are ground-huggingly low, have big magnets in and drive very fast? JACKPOT!)
I fully understand that the EMFCST probably fails on the basic grounds of rubbish science, but that never stopped the bumble bee did it?

HMMM
that wouldn't work at all Mark, a better plan would be to have some sort of system where you put up signs with "speed limits" on them.
Also pop some signs with I don't know, "twenty's plenty" near schools to get the mums in those sensible 4x4 with bull bars to keep to a lower speed near the kiddies.
Oh, and ban cyclists.
First, did you not think of all those people driving along and having heart attacks regardless of the speed bumps? Driving along and ARGH! Heart Attack! Foot hits the accelerator in a panic and they zoom over a speed bump. ARGH! Electric shock and the heart restarts! It'd save as many as it would kill.
Second, trying to persuade mums with big 4x4's to slow down would never ever work. Fact.
My grandad died of a heart attack at the wheel!
But the electric shocks wouldnt help people with heart problems.

My grandad died peacefully in his sleep... Unfortunate for the people in the bus he was driving though...
I was on that bus...

Sounds like heart attack city with all those electric shocks.
