I’m mastering the art of driving in West Virginia and parts of Pennsylvania:

1. See that road with all the squiggly marks on the map? Avoid it.
2. Always try to take valleys rather than go over mountains. It’s almost always quicker.
3. Roads labeled xxx/x like 32/7. Just don’t drive them especially not downhill.
4. Normally you want to drive with driver side wheel touching the yellow line. When you see a car approaching in the opposite direction, reduce speed look at your passenger side mirror and move the vehicle to 6″ of the ditch or in the few places guardrail exists. Continuously go back and forth between glancing at windshield and checking mirror for position. Depending on how wide the road is, you may have to come close to a stop. Don’t get too close to the drop off, the driver away from the drop off has most of the responsibility for letting you pass.
5. Always select the lowest gear you think you will need prior to descending the hill. You shouldn’t be downshifting further as you go down the hill.
