Failure to obey signage in PA

you have to be able to know how to down shift going down a hill, it can be done , whoever tells you never do it also needs to learn.

 

if your rolling hard stomp on the brake let up stomp hard again let up do it a third time hard and you should be able to get it in gear. ya need the Jake to assist ya. but ya should have been able to hit a lower gear at those speeds you mentioned.

 

Nothing wrong with downshifting on mountain. Ive done it many many many times. But i also know how to shift. If ur not experienced then dont try it u til ur very good at downshifting.. It only takes a couple seconds in neutral to gain to much road speed and at that point better say a prayer and pop ur spring breaks hope they can get ya stopped before u put it in the ditch... I have been on that highway in pa . speed limit 10 mph. Lets just say u were lucky to get a ticket and able to get er slowed down enough. U could have easily lost it out of gear and been hitting the bottom of that hill at 100mph plus thats if ur lucky

 

That is a separate topic entirely.

 

I’d like to know where this hill is.
10 mph is pretty slow.

 

It's not so much a error, but a problem. Sorta. I learned not to regard the tickets. Who cares, pay it. And get on with your life. The real concern is that mountain. 6th in 15 too fast. (I think...) Maybe try low range 4th? and just let her roll easy down. I hope you follow where I am coming from with this thought.
