Have you encountered a lot of humps in your area? It's so annoying that you need to slow down just to pass them. Unlike our humps in Malaysia, humps height and sizing is roughly the same everywhere. Our Malaysian engineers lack common sense and standardisation. I highly applaud to what the Australian local councils has done.
When I was in Frankston, most residential area, along Heatherhill street is buggered with heaps of humps. How do I pass them? Simple, theres always a small lil gutter that is about 5 cm indented (grey area). I just slow down my car a lil bit, keep my left tyres on the gutter, whilst i bump my tyres on the right, on top of the hump real fast, normally I would do it above 60 km/h and above, knowing I'm only using 175/75/R13 tyres and its hard for steel rims to bend. I would call it a semi-gutter run technique. Sadly this technique isn't applicable to Malaysia, especially the gigantic humps in Sunway area.
If there wasn't a gutter present, another way is to crab-walk through the hump, but in a fast way, once you go close to a bump, you slow down a little bit, till your car nose drops, and then swing left and right over the hump, crossing the hump faster than normal, although not has fast as the partial gutter run passing. But these methods are tested and anyone chasing behind your tail, would be stopped and delayed for a while, till he is able to get some momentum and starts chasing you.
