Q:
What if I am driving across an incline
that is not too steep, but I hit some
loose gravel and start to slide downhill.
What should I do?
A:
If you feel your vehicle starting to slide
sideways, turn downhill. This should help
straighten out the vehicle and prevent
the side slipping. However, a much better
way to prevent this is to get out and
"walk the course" so you know what the
surface is like before you drive it.
Stalling on an Incline
CAUTION:
{
Getting out on the downhill (low) side
of a vehicle stopped across an incline is
dangerous. If the vehicle rolls over, you
could be crushed or killed. Always get
out on the uphill (high) side of the vehicle
and stay well clear of the rollover path.
If your vehicle stalls when you are crossing
an incline, be sure you, and any passengers,
get out on the uphill side, even if the door there
is harder to open. If you get out on the downhill
side and the vehicle starts to roll over, you will
be right in its path.
If you have to walk down the slope, stay out of
the path the vehicle will take if it does roll over.
