Preston StephensMaroon Echoes Staff. It gets pretty busy in the high school parking lot especially if you stay for 8th hour, which a lot of Mt. Pleasant students do. Parking spaces are limited and new drivers are abundant.
Student drivers often don’t pay attention and that’s how accidents happen. Many think that if everyone paid more attention and drove with more caution, that will help fellow students get out of the parking lot safe and quick. Driving fast to beat someone is dangerous, which most students do to save a little time but can lead to more accidents and slowing everyone down. If you leave for 8th hour, it’s not as busy as it normally is but still, students need to be safe, cautious, and patient when it comes to driving home so an accident doesn’t happen. The first day that I drove to school freshman year, right after I got my school permit, I was rear-ended in the parking lot by someone who wasn't paying attention. Traffic was at a standstill when it happened and their car was damaged. This would not have happened if they were paying attention. On Fridays, when there isn’t 8th hour, the problem gets worse. Everyone leaving at the same time is hectic and with everyone in a hurry, people get frustrated quickly. With the entire student body leaving at the same time, sometimes it can take half an hour or more to get out of the main parking lot. Everyone trying to exit and enter the parking lot on the same narrow drive makes for a long line at the exit. Maybe if there were more than one exit or entrance to get out of the parking lot, it would let the traffic flow better. The teachers and administration of Mt. Pleasant High Community School want students to drive carefully and be safe around the school building. Take your time and get home safe.
