Brow of hill
When driving up an uphill gradient, slightly reduce pressure on the accelerator immediately before reaching the brow of the hill. Use the vehicle's own impetus to drive over the top of the hill.
This style of driving prevents:
- the vehicle from lifting off the ground on the
brow of a hill
- the vehicle from traveling too quickly down
the other side
