There is nothing better than a drive through the hills to take in the beauty offered by nature and bask in its serenity. As enjoyable as this exercise is though, one needs to make sure it is done in a safe fashion so as not to spoil the experience. Despite the deceptive serenity of the hills, the path is usually hazardous, especially during the monsoon. Here are a few safety tips on what to expect and how to remain safe during such a journey.Hill starts in a manual car takes patience and practice . The only thing preventing your automobile from rolling backward is the engine’s braking force, and even that force is gone if you’re using a clutch. Gravity begins to pull you back down the hill, directly at the bumper of the automobile in front of you. If you live in an area with hills, this function will be necessary. But, unless you intend to drive exclusively on flat roads, you will ultimately have to perform a hill start – it is an acknowledged part of regular driving. The hill start is part of the practical driving test as well. Your examiner will request that you pull over to the side of the road and then pull away again, including standard roadside stops, pulling out from behind a parked car, and a hill start. Additionally, you may be required to conduct an emergency stop. When learning how to drive a car, two things are essential. First, you need to understand how to change gears properly. Doing that will provide you with better control over the car. Furthermore, when learning how to drive a car, you also need to understand how to choose the right gear for different road conditions. Generally, the automatic transmission has five gears in all; one reverse gear and four forward gears. As for most manual cars, they often come with 4 forward gears, one reverse gear, and one neutral gear. The 1st gear is one of the most perfect gears for driving uphill. Other gears you can consider using are the 2nd and third gears. 1st gear, also called the lowest forward gear, is ideal for starting a vehicle from a stationary position. It provides the strongest pulling power and the least speed when driving your car.
