how
to go uphill.
You
may want to shift down
to
a
lower gear. The lower gears 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. Don’t 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, or winding
roads. Be
alert
to these and
take
appropriate action.
