Question 4408
When driving on a snow-covered roadway, slopes must be climbed...
- slowly and at a steady speed.
- in the lowest possible gear.
- quickly, because if the vehicle stops it will be difficult to get moving again.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: slowly and at a steady speed.
On a snowy uphill stretch, drive slowly and at a steady speed. If you try to regain any speed you lose, the drive wheels will spin. Use the highest gear you can and do not change gears on the slope. Driving fast does not help. What you need to avoid is stopping, because getting moving again on the slope is very difficult.
