I drive a polo 6n2 gti wich is quite low. I need to know the best ways to get over high ish speed bumps with keeping scrapeing to a minimum. Whats peoples best ways? Cheers

90mph eyes closed screaming all the way.

How low is low.

If its a sump splitter then try for the middle between the two if safe and possible.

Full width just grin and deal with it and laugh at other peoples faces.

The little yellow and black bastards give up find another route/car park/pub.

Low = Slow...that is all :-)

I try to go over them at a half position rather than straight over

like drive over them using the right or left of my car rather than straight over square.

little more wear on the suspension but saves my sump and zaust getting raped.

Have to drop to a near standstill regardless so whatevers best :-)

The little yellow and black bastards...

10mm hex bit and a cordless buzzgun!

Stage 3 subframe also works.

That's what happened around here a few years ago when the installed them, they just began to vanish

Could try going over it at a angle/Zig Zag on the full width bumps.

But i find going thought the middle is the best, so no one can try to over take as your going to slow :-D

Yes they can! Some actual goon in a Ford tried to undertake me the other day on a speedbump.

Honestly, WTF?!

Go back to standard height. Wont have any problems then.

I turn around and find another way or another car park,

Honestly, I'd never seen anything like it before!

Then was raging when I stuck the boot in it and he had to come back in, only to turn right 30 yards down the road.

WHAT EVEN IS THAT?!

the bigger the angle left or right you take it at the better, it means you have at least one wheel on the bump more often rather than both on or over at once

I get them daily.

There up my arse all through the 20. Then I get over the last one which is a very high sump splitter that I've got to go through the middle of/over the shoulder in first normally (yes its that severe - I've seen police cars slam on because of it) its then a national speed limit. Strange enough I don't see them after that.

I like your style!

Air ride

Go faster! It helps!

Just raise it, what is point of lowering it for it to be unpractical.

so other people can look at it and say its not low. I rate driveability over other peoples opinions

45degrees or Fssssst Tshshhhhhhhh

Personally i like a challenge :) but i always go as far left as i can so my exhaust doesnt hit because the chassy legs protect the sump resonably well.....

On yellow/black bastards i turn around

45 degree angles seem to help me but puts everyone behind me at a stand still

If in doubt flat out.

Personally I just go at it moving the lowest point of the car around the obstacle currently on my mk3 golf the subframe.

Common sense.

If in doubt flat out,

That was Ayrton Senna's view on traffic lights...
