Tell your passengers to walk! :lol: Seriously, speed bumps are a nightmare, where I live whichever why I go I have to negotiate between 10-20 speed bumps a day to work, gonna be fun when I drop mine! :lol:

Totally depends on the size of the speed bump, the length of the bump, the hardness of your suspension, the weight of your car, the width and diameter of your wheels, size of your tyres.......
