HILL CLIMBING
Reason Why Reaction Varies That a hill can be steeper .one day than another does ■hot- seemto occur to the average, driver.. As a result he often strains the engine on the up-grade and the brakes on the descent. THE hill itself remains the same, but A the effective hill which the engine has to climb or the brakes have to work against varies widely. Two additional passengers m a car going up or going down will make quite a difference. \ Sometimes a driver will cut over to the inside' of a curve m order to : pass another' car. This increases the grade so that, if he is, climbing, the engine, seems to lose power, whereas, "if he is descending, car seems to gain too much headway. The speed, upon starting up the hill or down has much to do with the way the car reacts to that hill. . Hills never seem as steep to those 'who get a good start going up or who start down slowly.
