How can the danger of brake failure be minimised when driving on a mountainous road?
Pick an answer to test yourself
The correct answer: Drive in a suitable (low) gear and use the brakes sparingly.
On a mountainous road, drive in a suitable low gear and use the brakes sparingly. The engine then helps to hold the speed, so the brakes do not overheat and fail. A high gear or not changing gears takes this help away.
