ing conditions do not permit maintaining a con-
stant speed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads
that are winding, icy, snow-covered, slippery, or

low this precaution could cause a collision or
loss of vehicle control, possibly resulting in per-
sonal injury or property damage.

tempt to shift gears without using the clutch
