that’s too steep will make
your vehicle roll over. You could
be seriously injured or killed. If

you have any doubt about the
steepness of the incline, don’t
drive across it. Find another route
instead.

Q:
A:
What if
I’m
driving across an
incline that’s not too steep, but
I
hit some loose gravel and start to
slide downhill. What should
I
do?
If you feel your vehicle starting to
slide sideways, turn downhill. This
should help straighten out the
vehicle and prevent the side
slipping. However, a much better
way to prevent this is to get
out
and
“walk the course”
so
you know
what the surface is like before you
drive it.
Stalling on
an
Incline
If your vehicle stalls when you’re
crossing
an
incline, be sure you (and
your passengers) get out on the uphill
side, even
if
the door there is harder to
open. If you get
out
on the downhill side
and the vehicle starts
to
roll over, you’ll
be right in its path.
If you have to walk down the slope, stay
out of the path the vehicle will take if it
does roll over.
