I have to travel 28N almost everyday and I have(was given) a 97 ford ranger with 2.2 liter 4 cylinder engine that cannot get over those hills (at 50mph) unless I get to a speed of 70mph before starting up the hill.
If I maintained the speed of 55 before beginning the climb I would be going around 40mph and the tranny would have downshifted into 3rd gear.
I have been driving since 1967 and never been ticketed for speeding(knocking on wood) but this combination of vehicle versus 28N to wolfeboro and back may get me one some day.
cannot afford another vehicle and it is fine besides the lack of power.
So if you are on 28N and a little green truck with a long line of cars behind it is slowing you down, I'm sorry.
I think this is what I will tell the officer when he pulls me over eventually. but I'm sure they've heard them all.
