Road conditions unkind to travelers

     Randy's thumb provides excellent frame
 for scene of us going  over bump. 
Were in the back of a pick up here.  We got our 
15 minutes of vitamin D enriched sunlight.

Road traffic accidents are the leading cause of trauma world wide. Reduced speed has a direct relationship to saved lives. One method used to slow down traffic in developing countries is speed bumps. Mostly used in busy thoroughfares and on the main streets of towns that the highways pass through, these speed bumps (nicknamed sleeping policemen) do provide protection to pedestrians. But they are very disruptive to the comfort of passengers riding in the back of pick ups.
