Coasting downhill in
NEUTRAL
(N)
or with the
ignition
off
is dangerous. Your brakes will have
to
do all the work
of
slowing down. They could get
so
hot that they wouldn’t work well. You would
then have poor braking or even none going down
a hill. You could crash. Always have your engine
running and your vehicle in gear when you
go downhill.
Know 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.
