That is why I inserted the part that the driver should acknowledge the car heading uphill, usually a direction signal or a wave will do.
Really amazing that if you use the right gear you can really control speed on an icy downhill.
True though that ice really does require planning and technique.
I am forever amazed that during ice storms in my area that certain notorious hills are neither closed or covered in gravel to give drivers a fighting chance .
