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 your 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.
