Know how to go down hills. The most important
thing to know is this: let your engine do some of
the slowing down. Shift to a lower gear when
you go down a steep or long hill.
•
Know how to go uphill. Use lower gears. They
help cool your engine and transmission, and
you can climb the hill better.
•
Stay in your own lane when driving on two-lane
roads in hills or mountains. Do not swing wide
or cut across the center of the road. Drive at
speeds that let you stay in your own lane.
•
As you go over the top of a hill, be alert. There
could be something in your lane, like a stalled
car or an accident.
•
You may see highway signs on mountains that
warn of special problems. Examples are long
grades, passing or no-passing zones, a falling
rocks area, winding roads, and special truck
lanes. Be alert to these and take appropriate
action.
