sorry for the shit 5mins paint jobby, just want to know what you'd do in this situation?
these speed bumps aren't small by the way....
obv avoid this road is a good one but its a pain in the arse going all the way round to get home
dunno if im breaking any laws but i alway go on the otherside of the road (if i can) them go diagonal between bump 1 and 2
cheers

i dont see the question here? go over speed bump one and stick to your lane. simple as that. if you car is too low then avoid the road or rip your bumper or sump off

Mines 60mm all round, so 3cm lower at the front and i do fine. I sold my 4-1 manifold for this reason, get rid of it and get a 4-2-1 and avoid the problem

Just take it slow and hit bump 1 at a angle, obviously staying in the correct lane still.
Do not miss having low cars at all.

There's people on here with B's lower than 30/60 who no doubt have to go over speedbumps at some stage, they must find a way around it, surely you can as well?

I usually have to go as far left as I can in my lane and just put the 2 drivers side wheels over the middle of the bump.

But seriously, a sump guards not going to be much good to your 4-1 seen as thats nearly scraping the floor normally going by that picture. Theres someone selling a 4-2-1 manifold in classifieds, could be worth a shout
