On a large hill, the incline may get steeper as you near

the top, but you may not see this because the crest of

the hill is hidden by bushes, grass or shrubs.

Here are some other things to consider as you

approach a hill.

Is there a constant incline, or does the hill get sharply

steeper in places?

Is there good traction on the hillside, or will the

surface cause tire slipping?

Is there a straight path up or down the hill so you

won’t have to make turning maneuvers?

Are there obstructions on the hill that can block your

path (boulders, trees, logs or ruts)?

What’s beyond the hill? Is there a cliff, an embankment,

a drop

-off, a fence? Get out and walk the hill if you

don’t know. It’s the smart way to find out.

Is the hill simply too rough? Steep hills often have

ruts, gullies, troughs and exposed rocks because they

are more susceptible to the effects of erosion.

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. Don’t use more power than you need,

because you don’t 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.
