I've recently suffered a break-down with my car, which I can only attribute to speed-bumps. So far it's proven to be a costly exercise, having been left stranded with broken springs with the front suspension of my car. The repair bill has rattled up quickly: £114 AA Membership required, to get the car recovered (could not be moved/towed). £80 AA surcharge, for not being a member when I called (the cover had lapsed) £130. A pair of new springs from Ford £110. Labour for fitting £120. A pair of new front tyres (one severely damaged by the spring). There's no way of putting a price on the inconvenience, but my objections thus far have been that I don't drive across speed-bumps at 'speed' (barely enough to get me over, as I don't want this sort of damage.). The downside seems to be, that there's no way of me avoiding (finding a suitable route) that has no speed-bumps or preventing my car from getting damaged again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
