Speed on Downgrades |
|
Going slow is the most important thing in going down long steep hills safely. If you do not go slowly enough, your brakes can become so hot they won’t slow you down. Shift your transmission to a low gear before starting down the grade. Pay attention to signs warning of long downhill grades, and check your brakes before starting down the hill. Use snub braking. Going down steep hills safely is discussed more in “Mountain Driving.”
