What driving techniques can prevent underbody scraping on speed breakers and rough roads?

Approaching at an angle reduces the chance of hitting the underbody.
Reducing speed properly before the bump minimizes impact.
Are there any recommended techniques that can help drivers avoid scraping?

Recommended Techniques:

Approach Speed Bumps at an Angle: Always approach speed bumps o r high curbs at an angle rather than straight on. This helps reduce the chances of the undercarriage hitting the bump.
Slow Down Gradually: Decelerate well in advance of speed bumps, and avoid sudden stops to minimize impact.
Use Low-Speed Settings: Use the car’s low-speed gear in areas with rough roads, which helps maintain a controlled, smooth ride.
