Hills
Climbing hills can pose particular problems on slippery roads.
Always leave plenty of space between yourself and the car ahead before starting your ascent. Stop and wait for a clear road if necessary, otherwise you may end up being stuck (literally) behind less skilful drivers.
For short hills you may consider reversing up in front-wheel-drive vehicles - this way the driving wheels will carry more weight and have more
grip. Zig-zagging can also help your wheels to grip.
Use low gears to help hold you back when descending slippery hills. Select the gear as early as possible.
Try to avoid using the brakes or changing gear while descending.
