Hills
Hills also require special attention. Remember the following when travelling up a hill:
- Use caution and move to the right in your lane as you approach the top of a hill. This may keep you from being hit by an oncoming vehicle that has crossed over the centre line and is in your lane.
- Do not pass near the top of a hill on a two-lane highway, as you cannot see what is ahead of you.
Remember the following when travelling down a hill:
- If the hill is very steep, adjust your speed. The time it takes you to stop will increase when travelling down a hill.
- In a vehicle with a standard transmission, shifting to a lower gear can reduce the risk of your brakes overheating.
