What is the impact of not using the engine brake while driving on steep downhill slopes?
Not using the engine brake while driving on steep downhill slopes can lead to increased wear on the vehicle's brakes, reduced braking effectiveness, and potential overheating of the brakes, which can result in brake failure and loss of control of the vehicle. It is important to use the engine brake to help control speed and reduce strain on the braking system when driving on steep downhill slopes.

Why should you not apply the clutch when driving on a long steep downhill slope?
Applying the clutch while driving down a long steep slope can lead to a loss of control and increased wear on the vehicle's brakes. It disengages the engine from the wheels, removing engine braking, which is crucial for maintaining control and slowing down safely. This can result in overheating the brakes, reducing their effectiveness, and potentially leading to brake failure. Instead, it's better to use a lower gear to utilize engine braking effectively.
