Driving down a mountain can be dangerous. if it's a manual car then stay in a low gear such as second or third. this will create a drag effect from the engine and not allow the car to speed up too much from gravity. if it's an automatic then put the selector into 'L' (for low gear) or '2'. Apply the brakes gently and intermittently Don't brake continuously as the brakes will heat up and not operate to full efficiency this is called brake fade.
