Yeah my 1ton goes "hmm, think i hit squirrel, oh well" while the saturn (RIP) nearly panicked when she got close to one.
In our area they are using speed humps instead. Bumps are shaped /-\ while speed humps are more /------\ they are long enough that low cars dont get stuck. the design is effective on SUVs as they are matched to the wheelbase. when the front tires are going down the front, the rears are just hitting the back. They are not to be ignored !!! Tried that in a work van and threw half the contents out of the shelves.
