Driving Uphill

Once you decide you can safely drive up the hill,

you need to take some special steps.

• Use a low gear and get a ﬁrm grip on the

steering wheel.

• Get a smooth start up the hill and try to

maintain your speed. Do not use more power

than you need, because you do not want

the wheels to start spinning or sliding.

• Try to drive straight up the hill if at all possible.

If the path twists and turns, you might want to

ﬁnd another route.

{CAUTION:

Turning or driving across steep hills can

be dangerous. You could lose traction,

slide sideways, and possibly roll over.

You could be seriously injured or killed.

When driving up hills, always try to go

straight up.

• Ease up on your speed as you approach the

top of the hill.

• Attach a ﬂag to the vehicle to make you more

visible to approaching traffic on trails or hills.

• Sound the horn as you approach the top of the

hill to let opposing traffic know you are there.

• Use your headlamps even during the day.

They make you more visible to oncoming traffic.

{CAUTION:

Driving to the top (crest) of a hill at full

speed can cause an accident. There could

be a drop-off, embankment, cliff, or even

another vehicle. You could be seriously

injured or killed. As you near the top of a

hill, slow down and stay alert.
