that's what I have learned in driving school as well. However, 2015 or
2016, when we did Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway, I asked the same thing,
and someone mentioned that the GMC transmission guru advises different.
So today, I drove with the brake most of the time, while after getting
affected by the pedal, I moved it down to 2nd gear setting, just to be
one the safe side from my point of view. There were only something like
5-6 curves and after that the freeway.
