    In which gear do I drive when I am on a hill?
    Community Answer
    2nd gear would be fine driving up a hill, and 1st gear is good for when you're going downhill.

    A good rule of thumb is one car length per 10 miles per hour. So, if you are traveling 70 mph on the highway, it is safe to be seven car lengths back.

  • Question
    Is it good to put my car in neutral when driving down a hill in heavy traffic?
    Community Answer
    No, never drive your car in neutral. It's called as coasting. You will have less control when you are driving in neutral or your clutch is down. Release your clutch as early as possible even after changing the gear.
