Speed and Hills

Speed-Defensive-Class

When driving in rural mountain environments be sure to use low gear when heading down hill to control your speed and save your brakes. If you loose control, you probably won't be saved by a boat.

 

Driving speed and hills are two of the most important concepts to consider when behind the wheel. Regardless of the type of vehicle youre driving, its important to always follow the speed limit and use caution when driving up and down hills. Knowing how to navigate these two situations can help to ensure that you stay safe on the road and protect your vehicle from potential damage.

 

Speed Limits

 

One of the most important aspects of driving is adhering to the speed limit. The speed limit is the maximum speed that you can safely travel in a given area. It is typically posted on signs along the side of the road and should always be taken into consideration when behind the wheel. In most cases, driving faster than the posted speed limit can result in a speeding ticket, so it’s important to know when and where you can speed and when you should stay within the posted limit.

 

When driving on highways, its important to adhere to the speed limit as it is usually higher than other roads. The speed limit on highways is typically between 65 and 70 miles per hour. Its important to keep a consistent speed when driving on the highway and to always use caution when passing other vehicles.

 

Driving Uphill

 

When driving up a hill, it’s important to remember that you should always decrease your speed. The grade of the hill can affect how quickly your vehicle will slow down, and it’s important to take this into consideration when driving up. It’s also important to use caution when driving up hills and to avoid sudden stops and starts, as this can cause your vehicle to slide or lose control.

 

When driving up a steep hill, it’s important to maintain a low gear. This will help to maintain a steady speed and will allow you to safely navigate the hill. It’s also important to be aware of your surroundings and to always use caution when driving up a hill.

 

Driving Downhill

 

 

When driving downhill, its important to remember that you should always increase your speed. The grade of the hill can affect how quickly your vehicle will accelerate, and its important to take this into consideration when driving down. Its also important to use caution when driving downhill and to avoid sudden stops and starts, as this can cause your vehicle to slide or lose control.

 

When driving down a steep hill, its important to maintain a high gear. This will help to maintain a steady speed and will allow you to safely navigate the hill. Its also important to be aware of your surroundings and to always use caution when driving down a hill.

 

In conclusion, driving speed and hills are two of the most important concepts to consider when behind the wheel. Its important to always adhere to the speed limit and use caution when driving up and down hills. Knowing how to navigate these two situations can help to ensure that you stay safe on the road and protect your vehicle from potential damage.
