Know how to go down hills. The most important

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.
