An unmarked speed breaker in an upscale Gurgaon neighbourhood has earned the ire of commuters as it sends cars ‘flying’ through the air. Footage that has gone viral on social media shows several vehicles, including a luxury BMW and heavy trucks, going airborne due to the poorly-planned speed breaker on Golf Course Road. In one video, a white BMW was seen jumping into the air after hitting the unmarked speed breaker.
It remained in the air for at least a few seconds before landing with a bump, its rear bumper scraping the road. It was followed by several trucks where drivers presumably could not see the speed breaker and similarly jumped into the air. The video from Gurgaon was shared on the social media platform X, where it has gone viral with nearly 8 lakh views.
