When navigating a very steep downgrade, a driver should reduce speed before entering the descent and shift to a lower gear to utilize engine braking. It's crucial to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and avoid sudden braking, which could lead to loss of control. Additionally, using the vehicle's brakes intermittently can help manage speed without overheating them. Always be aware of road conditions and adjust driving behavior accordingly.
