Default Sensitive Throttle ?

Due to the local councils reluctance to spend money on the roads around here, some of the roads I have to use are pretty rough. I have noticed that that this can lead to my foot bouncing slightly on the throttle pedal, consequently making the car jerk. Has anyone else noticed this. Is the throttle too sensitive, if it is can anything be done about it, or is it just me.

Normal problem with all the cars I'm afraid.
Simplest thing to do is push your foot onto the right wall.
Works for me.

Mine does that on these shite roads too honpar. I wonder if we could sue in the event of an accident for negligence, faliure to maintain the roads resulting in an accident?

Any legal begals gonna take that on?

Yeah happens to me occasionally too. Other than mashing your foot to the floor try taking that stretch of road in a higher gear than usual to make steadier (if less responsive) progress.

LOL,
They only drove through once but it was enough for them to write it into the song!
It's that bad I once buckled an alloy. Anyone reading this take note! Bypass Blackburn.
