Know how to go uphill. You may want to shift down to a lower gear.
The lower gears help cool your engine and transmission, and you can
climb the hill better.
Stay in your own lane when driving on two-lane roads in hills
or
mountains. Don’t swing wide or cut across the center of the road. Drive
at
speeds that let you stay
in
your own lane.
As
you go over the top of a hill, be alert. There could be something
in
your lane, like a stalled car or an accident.

You may see highway signs on mountains that warn
of
special
problems. Examples are long grades, passing
or
no-passing zones, a
falling rocks area, or winding roads. Be alert to these and take
appropriate action.
