Explanation
When you approach the top of a hill without a clear view of what's ahead, you should slow down to a speed that will allow you to stop in time if necessary. This is because you may not know what is on the other side-there could be another vehicle, an obstacle, or a pedestrian that you need to stop for. Any time your view is obstructed by a hill, you should assume that there is another vehicle ahead.
