    But obviously if you cannot veer to the right to commence one's "climb" then you are buggered trying to do this method. Just Sayin'.
    Crossing diagonally leads to a horrible rocking motion side to side as well as up and down. I did pass a Colorado/Isuzu ute one day over a suburban traffic calming speed hump he was taking them at approx 10 kph so I went round him. I hate it when people buy vehicles they can't drive or park!

    The slight diagonal works best with a sold axle not so much with independent

    Yeah, I did wonder why anyone would stand on 'er indoor's laundry basket accessories.

    Plastic Pegs these days are rubbish, Dolly Pegs are so much better.

    I did have a Discovery in mind, it being the vehicle I was driving when crossing some at Unley. Haven't yet tried it yet in MAZ living in the AD Hills I haven't spotted any humps. Well, not unless one counts 'er indoors first thing in the mornings.

    Imagine the explosion from the Workplace Health and Safety office when they saw the cop standing on the pegs, pointing to both sides!
    If a civvie did it, they'd be busted for dangerous driving.

    I think skill levels and circumstance may come in to play, Ian.
