We were going around (I believe) Chevy Chase circle at 45 or so with the locals, trying to locate one of a half-dozen streets leading off it... and we hit a speed bump hidden in the shade. I thought we had all bought the farm with broken necks and snapped vertebrae. The coolers and luggage bounced off the ceiling of the van... If you were going 45 around Chevy Chase Circle, you would have deserved broken necks. You must be misremembering. It would take real speedway skillz to navigate that circle at anything over 35. The speed limit on the main through street (Connecticut Avenue) is only 25.

Are you sure that wasn’t just bad pavement? IMO, only an idiot would put a speed hump on a traffic circle.

But when you are the only person in the circle from out of town, and the locals are on your bumper, and you are looking for a street, and things are happening too fast, it feels like you are going way too fast.
