THE QUEST TO PASS THE DRIVING TEST
Have you ever by nervous about taking your permit test?- because I have. Taking your permit test comes with pros and cons.
Sophomore Tatum Peterson said she took in person drivers ed twice and for the third time she took the test online. She said, she preferred online better that way she could just cheat, while Sophomore Jazlin Blanco said she’d do it in person because she’s more of a hands on learner.
“I struggle with mostly parallel parking; I can never get it perfect. I’m either too close back or too close up” Sophomore Tyler Mcnally said.
“Something I still have trouble with driving is reading the road signs. Sometimes I get confused and I catch myself in the process of doing the wrong thing and I’m like what am I doing,” Sophomore Serenity Lane said.
Sophomore Jazmyne Cordero felt like the goal of drivers ed is teens demonstrating they know how to balance the rough steering, braking, and accelerating in a precise and timely manner.
According to “Online Drivers Ed vs In Person Classes” In-person classes require you to physically show up to a classroom to be taught driver education. The hours for these types of classes are strict and their length depends on state specifications while online drivers ed requires courses to be taken entirely on the internet. These types of classes are much more flexible for people since they can complete them on their own time.”
When it comes to learning to drive, things aren’t always smooth sailing. In order to ace the test and become a safe driver, learners have to build up a large range of skills some of which are easier to grasp than others.
Have you felt anxious before a test; you certainly aren’t alone! 50% of people fail their driving test the first time. Moreover, up to 40% of people fail their written test the first time they attempt it. If you do not succeed on your first try, you can retake the road test. Most states require you to wait a certain number of days or even weeks before you may retest, though you may want to wait even longer while you practice your driving skills to make sure you can pass this time. Your test examiner will be able to let you know how long you’ll need to wait.
Junior Varsity Cheerleader Gabriela Jabalera said she passed her permit test on the first try, and she was surprisingly shocked.
“I failed my permit test twice”. Sophomore Tatum Peterson added.
When getting your permit or driver’s license you have a responsibility and it’s one step closer from becoming a young adult.

I like how she offers an online option because many people do not know they can take their test through their phone it was easier and more efficient.

The text had a lot of tone in it, like how the intro was one I related to, and the photos just give it such great personality to it.

I think including some of the struggles that someone might face while trying to get their permit is really nice because I think it’ll let others know that they aren’t alone.
