Unless it's crossing a solid White line, no you're not breaking the law. Although if it's effecting other traffic by you having to drive on the wrong side of the road then it's just plain selfish IMO. If you're courteous and pull in to allow others in both directions to pass first, then attempt the manoeuvre then FairPlay, but I'm Sure this can't always be the case if it's a busy road. There's a long road of speed bumps leading down to where NeilM and I used to live, never had a problem in that car before the previous chavs got a hold of it. When I had my decked 1.4sport however I just drove down on the path when it was clear  (we're talking at night here before the CS police start)

they are designed like that to not effect ambulances and large emergency vehicles, usually means it doesnt affect larger cars either though

I'm taking a risk if I try and straddle those in the S3 and it's on standard suspension. It hangs it's sump down like a cows udders so I have to slow and drive two wheels over them to be on the safe side.
