Explanation
Passing a vehicle on an upgrade is generally easier than on a downgrade because the truck’s weight and momentum will cause it to slow down on an upgrade. On a downgrade, the truck may gain speed due to the road's inclination. Drivers should always maintain a safe distance from the rear of a truck traveling up a hill, in case it starts to drift back when it begins to move.
