RVK Garage's video: TRUCK BREAK FAIL Truck Accident Avoided Dangerous Hills Driving

Breaks are very important when you drive in hills to avoid accidents, You need to check the brake oil leak and other mechanical parts by watching videos, before climbing uphill or downhill on ghat roads. Most of the accidents in hills happen due to poor braking and the vehicle loses control and falls of the cliff in hairpin bend turnings. The truck I am driving in this video is my private mod. 1. Use low gear when going downhill. This is the most important thing you should do when you’re driving downhill. Using a low gear will help you to control your car’s speed. Moreover, using a low gear would engage engine braking--a technique that prevents your car's brakes from overheating. Putting your car in third- or second-gear while going downhill could be your best option if you're driving a manual. On the other hand, you need to shift to "3," "2," or "L" if you're using an automatic. In case you own a modern automatic car, you can use the manual plus, minus (+,-) mode or the paddle shifters and shift into a low gear. Of note, don’t worry too much about the high engine revs when you're using a low gear as this is part of the engine braking technique. 2. Preserve your car's brakes As said earlier, you should practice engine braking by shifting into a lower gear when going downhill. Allow the engine to slow your car down when tackling steep drops because applying too much pressure on your car’s brakes could cause them to overheat and fail. The last thing you want to happen is to have a faulty brake system when you're cruising down Kennon Road as this could lead to an awful ending. 3. Do not shift into neutral Do not shift in neutral whenever you're driving. Yes, they say that coasting in neutral could lead to better fuel economy. However, this is not safe especially when you’re driving downhill. You're not in full control of your vehicle when you shift into neutral. Plus, you would surely put too much pressure on your car's brakes when going downhill because you're not practicing engine braking. You can also react faster and safer to different road hazards when your gear is engaged. Driving on scenic mountain roads is one of the best things to do. However, you should never compromise your safety when you’re driving through steep downhill roads. Always remember to shift into a low gear and let your engine do the braking. After all, who wants to experience driving a car that has a faulty brake system, right?
