I am someone who lives in a very flat area, not a single hill. Suppose I was taking a road trip and had to go up and down some mountains, what tips should I consider to be safe? How do I avoid ruining my clutch or my breaks?

    In general you won’t need to worry about those things.

    But if you want to worry about them… For the clutch, don’t ride it and don’t leave it in neutral. It’s ok to put it in a lower gear and let the engine do some breaking.

    For breaks, you can alternate front and back if you’re worried about them over heating.

    However, if you just drive normally and don’t speed then you won’t have to even think about these things.
