When driving to brake safely while traveling downhill you should?

When driving downhill, to brake safely, you should begin by using engine braking to control your speed by shifting to a lower gear. This helps reduce wear on your brakes and maintains better control. If additional braking is needed, apply the brakes gently and intermittently rather than slamming them, allowing them to cool between applications to prevent overheating. Always stay aware of your surroundings and adjust your speed according to road conditions.
