Driving Up a Hill
Driving
in hilly areas is a testing time even for seasoned drivers since the topography
of hills is extremely different from those of the plains. Hence, while driving
in a hilly terrain, you must keep following points in mind :
- Never overload your
vehicle as it can be taxing for your vehicle and can put extra load on
steering
- The roads in hilly areas
are generally narrow and at many places traffic flows from both dire
 ctions.
Always allow a heavier vehicle or up going vehicle to pass by- down coming
vehicles should provide enough room for ascending vehicles
- In case of rain,
snowfall, landslide or gravel falling situation, stop your vehicle near some
wide patch of the road where hills are strong
- Do not drive in hilly
areas during night hours unless you are in an emergency
- Approaching a turn, slow
down your vehicles to the level of halt, use horn and then move slowly
