high center
Stuck on hump
High center describes a vehicle becoming stuck when its undercarriage catches on elevated ground while the wheels lose traction—typically when crossing a ridge, rock, or rut.
The chassis rests on the obstacle while the tires spin uselessly: We high-centered on the median trying to cut through the parking lot.
Common in off-road driving and rural conditions.
