What's a tope and why does it matter how fast you're going?

Thank you Len, also in short it's a speed bump that can sometimes be more like a curb in the middle of the road. Our friends car bottomed out many times on large speedbumps no matter how slow we tried to take them.
Radar cops and speed limits aren't really a thing here.
Topes are, and they'll fucking eat your car if you try and disobey.
Lucky for us, there's a mechanico near just about every bad tope we noticed, interesting how that is.
