Sometimes you see people driving over speed bumps one tire at a time. Like this: driver's side wheel, then passenger side wheel, and same with the back wheels.
Is there a reason for this, or are they just having fun?

they don't want to ruin the suspension on their cars, but speed bumps won't really damage the suspension.
they also might want to avoid scraping the bottom/front of their cars if their ends are low.
or they might just drive weird.

When you drive over a speed bump "straight on" your car bounces up and down, but when driving over them at an angle your car rocks (kinda) side to side, a slightly smoother sensation to some people.
Try it your self. Go the same speed using both methods, and see which way you find more comfortable.

They believe they are not harming the suspension components of the car and/or the car is low enough that it will scrape or bottom out if the hit the speed bumps straight on.

I believe most people do this not to experience us much of a "bump." However, I drive a Toyota celica GT4 that I have tuned the suspension for rally racing. And since I don't actually get to race, I hit them as hard as I can and try to catch as much air as possible.
