The speed bumps that I drive over are about 500-1,000 feet spaced apart with rolling hill terrain throughout the neighborhood. Speed limit posted is 30 MPH.

Should I try to coast as much as possible to each speed bump, avoiding excessive acceleration, using engine braking to slow myself down before the bump or should I just accelerate smoothly then brake right before the speed bump?
