Never seen a low-slung work truck? What sort of work trucks have lower ground clearance than a car?
As for cars, if you lower your car and now it can't get around, I think that's on you. They put violent speed bumps in Somerville and while people whine about them all the time, the only people I've ever seen scraping their cars were going way too fast. Ironically, weirdly often in Priuses, though friends who driver Priuses say they have zero problems because they slow down for the bumps.

For the work truck it’s not the height, it’s that my Tools get flung around and slam into each other! You’ll notice most folks, such as myself, drive really slowly in our tool trucks cuz large potholes and other road bumps can not only make a mess, but break tools! Speed bumps are brutal for the tools slamming into each other and ladders sliding around. It’s not like they will fall off, it’s just loud, unpleasant, and expensive. And i don’t mean to sound like they shouldn’t change intersections where people are getting hurt, I just think removing vision obscuring items should happen way before speed bumps!
And the other car is a bone stock 996 that can’t make it over them
