…that as you’re approaching an incline of any serious steepness (35 to 45 degrees) or height that you need to tromp on the gas…gun it!…to overcome the natural inertia effect of a severe hill. Everyone knows the basic drill. And yet there are fuddy-duddy slowboats who don’t hit the gas and, failing this, appear to even forget to shift into low gear as they’re about to make the climb. They even do this on snow or sleet-covered hills during winter. If I’ve yelled “you fucking tool!” once while driving behind these pokey types, I’ve yelled it 500 times.
