#1. Why is controlling speed on a downhill slope important?
Gravity can increase your speed downhill, making it harder to brake and control the vehicle.
#2. What is a safe technique for using brakes on a long downhill?
Gentle braking maintains control and prevents brake overheating.
#3. True or False: Following distance can be shorter when driving downhill.
Maintain extra following distance, as your car may take longer to stop due to gravity-assisted speed.
#4. True or False: You should downshift to a lower gear before starting a steep descent.
Downshifting allows better speed control and prevents brake overheating.
#5. When is it safest to accelerate on a downhill slope?
Only accelerate briefly when necessary for merging or lane changes, otherwise maintain controlled speed.
#6. True or False: Steep downhill curves require even slower speeds than straight downhill stretches.
Curves increase the risk of losing control, so slower speeds are critical.
#7. True or False: Downhill driving is only risky for large vehicles like trucks.
Any vehicle, including cars, can lose control on steep descents without proper speed management.
#8. What is engine braking?
Engine braking reduces reliance on brakes and helps maintain safe downhill speed.
#9. True or False: You should rely entirely on your brakes while driving downhill.
Constant braking can overheat brakes. Instead, use engine braking and gradual brake application.
#10. Which of the following is a preventive measure for safe downhill driving?
Preparation, gear management, and spacing ensure safe control during downhill driving.
