I've found that if you take them at the correct angle you don't have to slow down much at all. It's a bit like jumping a curb.

Speed bumps on the road have a very good purpose when installed correctly. The problem with most of them is that you can't drive over them at more than half the speed limit without damaging your vehicle. Where I live they engineer dips in the road as well. Again, if you do not slow down to about half the speed limit you will damage your vehicle. If the speed limit is 25 mph I should be able to drive 25 mph without damaging my vehicle.
