Question 502: To ask the Minister for Transport the speed at which a car must be driven over speed ramps during a driving test; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10464/06]

As speed ramps and cars vary considerably in their design and construction, it is not possible to be definitive about the speed a car should be travelling at when negotiating a ramp. In general, a car should be driven over ramps at a speed and in a manner which does not cause undue discomfort to the occupants, or undue strain on the car. Neither should the car be driven at an unnecessarily slow speed.
