Moin, the following situation. I drive down a 6km long mountain every day. I switch to the 4 or 3rd gear to use the engine brake (my rotary zal at about 4000 rpm => engine can use petrol red 6200u/min) 1. Question ? Is the right to use the 3 or 4 gear ? Furthermore what is better : A: Curative strong braking before the curve (brake pedal pressed about 20meter) B: Slow gentle braking before the curve (brake pedal pressed about 50meter) What does YOU think ? r Material and purse ? P.S. One manages to get down the mountain with 4-5 strong brake strokes on dry road. But there are drivers who take braking time
