What are the precautions for driving on slopes?

[EllianaDella]

Precautions for driving on slopes include: 1. Maintain your lane while driving and avoid swaying or crossing the road centerline; 2. Shift to a lower gear when descending steep or long slopes; 3. Do not coast in neutral or with the engine off when going downhill; 4. When going uphill, be aware of blind spots on the slope and avoid overtaking; 5. In case of prolonged traffic congestion on a slope, do not constantly press the brake—instead, engage the handbrake firmly to prevent rolling back; 6. Utilize engine braking to reduce the vehicle's coasting speed when descending; 7. Avoid shifting gears while on an uphill slope whenever possible; 8. If gear shifting is necessary, adjust the gear before starting the ascent; 9. Control the vehicle's speed when descending and prepare to reduce speed in advance; 10. Use engine braking to manage speed, applying intermittent braking (pump the brakes) rather than prolonged or emergency braking.
