Most likely some speed bumps yeah just simply take it nice and slow and if needed go onto and out of the speed bumps at an angle.

2nd'd, have mine sat at "tien prefered settings" on the front with a splitter (blobeye 05) and it is LOW! the front of the car is 3.5 inches of the deck,

It fits over some scary looking speed bumps near me at home (with about 3mm of clearance) but it wont fit over ones in sainsburys car park chichester !! so... as Spanair says just take it slow, and approach at an angle , the best option is to avoid roads with speed bumps all together
