you can't pass a 20cm high curb with sides at a right angle 
at high speed just like you would pass a painted line; 
*if* you are able to do it [1]_ you have to slow down and approach
it with care.

Of course if your roads are separated by a 20 cm high bump with 
a rounded profile, just like a slighty nasty speed bump, 
it is a different matter, but that's definitely not the usual 
road separation around here.

.. [1] my car isn't, and most of the "auto mediche" (a regular 
       car with EMTs on board, which follows the same roules for 
       e.g. ambulances) I've seen aren't.
