You are driving a fully loaded passenger vehicle down a long grade. What braking technique should you use?

Pick an answer

1. Use a lower gear and light, steady braking rather than continuous heavy braking that can overheat the brakes
2. Brake continuously and heavily for the entire descent
3. Coast in neutral to save fuel on the way down
4. Stay in a high gear and control speed with the accelerator alone, since modern engines can hold speed on most grades without braking
