Look, these rules feel suffocating. You’re basically driving with training wheels made of bureaucracy. But here’s the upside: you will survive. These laws are designed to keep you from wrapping your Civic around a tree.
The first time you almost get sideswiped? You’ll be weirdly grateful for that nanny camera. The time you avoid a deer because you weren’t looking at your phone? You’ll thank the grumpy DMV worker in your glove box.
So, embrace the weirdness. Buy a cheap Bluetooth speaker for your one passenger. Learn to love your 9 PM bedtime. And remember: in one year, you get to be a real driver. Until then, just try not to make the camera beep at you. It’s embarrassing.
