Although the safety of a car mainly depends on the actions of drivers, a city’s infrastructure can also play a role. Speed bumps, or speed brakes, are also essential to keep cars and other vehicles at a safe speed in residential areas. However, a speed bump in Mumbai is gaining popularity online for a precarious reason.
A car recently got stuck on a high-speed controller in Mumbai and became helpless, so everything went wrong. On Instagram, a user shared a video showing a Jaguar XJ stuck on the speed breaker in Mumbai. “Why don’t we have good roads in Financial Capital???” wrote the user in the caption.
Watch the video below:
The video shows a Jaguar XJ stuck over a major speed breaker on a busy road in Mumbai. Despite many attempts by the driver of the car, the vehicle failed to pass the speed breaker, with the rear wheels continuing to spin with each attempt.
The video also showed how other motorists and passers-by came to the aid of the Jaguar driver. The people gathered around the vehicle watched as the car was pushed so that it moved forward several inches and passed the speed limiter. Fortunately, by the end of the video, the vehicle managed to pass the high-speed controller and dodge further damage and trials.
Since the video of the incident was shared, it has taken the internet by storm. It even caught the attention of Mumbai’s Municipal Corporation. “Thank you for sharing with us. We have instructed our team to attend immediately,” the officials wrote on Twitter.

Meanwhile, the video has been viewed almost 30,000 times and has garnered several likes and comments. “Literally laughing my guts out… Any car, specifically sedans not made with Indian Roads in mind, should not be bought alone,” one user wrote. “it’s not a ‘speed breaker,’ it’s a ‘car breaker,'” another jokingly added.
“Why is there no universal size for speed breakers!? A universal template should be followed by every contractor. All the speed breakers in Mumbai are ridiculous,” said the third. “Why is it called speed breaker, it should be called speed mountain,” said another.
