What happens to your speed when driving uphill compared to oncoming traffic?

When driving uphill, the slope affects the power of your vehicle and can lead to a decrease in speed. Uphill inclines require more energy and torque from the vehicle's engine, which can result in slower acceleration and overall speed. As for oncoming traffic, vehicles traveling downhill may have the advantage of gravity, allowing them to maintain or even increase their speed compared to those driving uphill. Therefore, it’s likely that, while your speed decreases, the vehicles approaching from the opposite direction, which may be descending a slope, can travel at a higher speed due to this gravitational assistance. This situation highlights the dynamics of driving on differing terrains and how it can impact vehicle speeds in relation to one another.
