Learn to Park
For those who have never been here, Morgantown is hilly. Some areas are worse than others, but there are some roads that it is wise to avoid in the winter until streets have been cleared. 8th Street is one of those roads.

If your brakes were to fail, your car will move in the direction your wheels are turned.
