Driving
on Hills
Pick a path for best
traction and build speed gradually when approaching a hill.
If there are vehicles sliding backwards or spinning their
wheels, pick a path that will give your vehicle the best
traction.
When toping the crest
of a hill begin the decent slowly. If the downhill slope
is enough to accellerate your vehicle above an unsafe speed,
shift into a lower gear to allow the engine drag to control
your speed. This will help avoid prolonged use and overheating
of your brakes.
