I drive a small automatic car. For the most part, it struggles a bit with steep uphills, and picks up speed when going downhill. That’s to be expected.

But then I noticed some downhills actually slow it down. I’ve noticed during a two-hour motorway trip I often do to visit family, there are some specific downhills, not all, just some, where my car always slows down and I have no idea why.

Ideas?

    The water level will be affected by the car’s acceleration, which is likely also affecting your inner ear and causing the illusion in the first place.

      You’ve crushed my hopes. There has to be a way that doesn’t require stopping the car
