No. S DRIVING ON HILLS
In aoMi parti of the country hills are taken for (ranted . . . and food steep
ones, too. But for tome at ut who live In flatter country, hill driving is
lot so familiar.
Am m mattjtr nt fart, there are several condition!
'''3 peculiar to driving in very iteep hills or mountains,
eapecially if the altitude is high. Tor Instance, a car
that develop! 100 horsepower at sea-level, hai only
82 horsepower at an altitude of 5000 feet, and only 60
horsepower on top of Pike's Peak.
Another thing ii that sometimes grades ara de
ceptive and we don't realize how steep they are, If
then ii no level ground to Judge by.
So if we go on ( road trip and happen to get into
country where hills ara hills, we often have no idea
of what is in atore for us. Like as not, we will come
rolling up to a hill, taking It for granted that we'll
make the grade. But before we'va gone very far we
find that our power seems to be giving out, and we're
ilowlng down. Then we realize we must shift to second gear, but we're lucky
If we haven't found out to late that there we are, stalled on a hilll
Now oeople who drive on hills all the time say
sne thine: to remember la that there's nothing like I lsSjvS
a good atari Of course, this 4 true, because the
Tilnute we start up, gravity starts to work and work
fast. Yard-by-yard it usee up our momentum till by-nd-by
that momentum is Just about gone. Then we
have to shift to lower gear to increase our power.
Experts tell us that by far the most common fault )
in nui-ciunoing ia xaiiuro 10 iniu to a lower gear
toon enough. So Just to be sure, some drivers set a
definite point at which to change gears. The con
ensus of opinion seems to be that we should always
go Into second gear as soon aa our speed gets down
to 20 miles an hour.
There are times, however, when we want to ston
on a hill. So it's important to know how to start again, with our car on an
jpgr.de. And there seem to be two methoda used by experienced drivers.
Some use their foot brake to keep their
cars from rolling backward, put their engine
in low gear and accelerate slowly with the
hand throttle, gradually engaging their
clutch and releasing the brake at the same
time. Other good drivers do exactly the same
thing, only they use the hand brake and the
foot accelerator. But both groups tell us It
doesn't mske much difference ... to use
whichever method we happen to like the
better.
Now there aren't many hills that cars
can't climb nowadays . . . and what goes up
must come down. And that'a where we
have to look out for momentum. He may
have been a friend in need when we were
coming up hill, but going down he'll run away with us if we aren't careful.
And If there are any sharp curves or any bad bumpa or loose gravel, we have
to be careful or he'll pitch us right off the road.
Many drlvera aay that we should go down a mil
In the same gear we would use to get up. In other
words, If it's steep enough so we would have to go up
In second or even low gear, then we'd better get Into
that same gear before we start down. If our car is
In second or low gear, our engine worka aa a very
effective brake, and besides it saves a lot of wear
on our real brakes.
Speaking of gears, experienced drivers say we
should never, under any condition, dliengage our
clutch and coast down hill. That'i Just what momen
tum la waiting for. Juit give momentum a free rein,
without our engine to check it, and nobody can tell
what's going to happen.
When we do get in country where people are used
to driving on hills all the time, it may seem to us that they take those hills
without the slightest concern. But if we were In their cars with them
and could watch them closely, we would see that they take all these pre
cautions we have mentioned, Just aa a matter of habit. And one thing is sure.
They make It a rule never to pasa other cars on hll.s, or get on the wrong
side of the road, when they can't see far enough ahead to be sure whether
anyone's coming.
