| Sep 3, 2018 at 14:05 | comment | added | Jay A. Little | Honestly, I was going to ask OP whether he meant a 'pothole' or a 'bump' because yes they are opposites (concave vs convex). But then I realized it doesn't matter. The phrase is the same "hit a bump" and "hit a pothole". Just don't ask me why! XD | |

| Sep 3, 2018 at 13:41 | comment | added | James | @Jay A. Little A 'bump' in the road is usually regarded as a raised area that is higher than the surrounding road area. A pothole, almost by definition, is a hollow or hole in the road that is lower than the surrounding road area. However, a car wheel passing over either one of these can cause the sensation and sound of a 'bump' within the car. | |
