When a teenager turns 15 and 9 months, they are eligible to obtain a learner’s permit, which allows them to begin learning to drive with an adult supervisor next to them. At 16 and a half, they can get their provisional, and finally, at the age of 18, their full driver\u2019s license. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophomores, at the youngest, have started to get their driver’s permit and provisional licenses. Claiming their way to adulthood, students are eager to drive themselves around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophomore Lizeth Montemayor shares her experience with getting her permit recently, explaining that, \u201cIt\u2019s amazing to be able to drive myself to places and not have to depend on my parents or brother. I only really drive to work or around the neighborhood when I\u2019m practicing, though.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anushka Segar, also a Sophomore, adds that, \u201cBeing able to drive allows me to get things done, because I have a busy schedule, since I can drive myself everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Anushka and Lizeth, new drivers are both excited and slightly nervous about driving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are pros and cons that come with this new freedom. Many upperclassmen are not exactly happy to see the new drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior Yusuf Mirasyedi says, \u201cSometimes new drivers are really bad drivers and it\u2019s frustrating when I\u2019m in the parking lot because the space is limited and they\u2019re in the way.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He continues by saying that \u201cI feel that it\u2019s highly possible that I could be late to school because people without parking permits might park in my spot.\u201d This statement can be backed up with the fact that there have recently been an increasing number of tardy students, River Hill has adopted a new system of \u201ctardy tables\u201d, where tardy students are required to check in at the tardy table instead of with Ms. Key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He expresses his feelings about new drivers , saying that, \u201cI actually purposefully avoid people with \u2018new driver\u2019 bumper stickers because they\u2019re annoying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the parking lot spaces are very limited, and students must register for their own lot. \u201cA lot of people don\u2019t seem to know that the parking lot spaces are reserved,\u201d Hannah and Yusuf continue, \u201c[new drivers] park in teacher spots and student spots without having a permit, which is really annoying, and the only thing the school can do is write a ticket, which nobody cares about\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the minor conflicts between new and experienced drivers, all of them agree that they are glad to have their driver privileges. With more experience and practice driving, new drivers will surely get adjusted to the world of driving.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
