How it Works
Every test route has the same required components. Parallel parking is tested before going on the public roadway. Your skills are assessed while performing at least two right and left turns, driving through and abiding by at least one traffic control device, and adjusting to a speed zone change.
Upon successfully completing the driver's skills test, the learner's permit will be marked, and the results will be submitted to PennDOT for processing. Once PennDOT posts the test results, a camera card will be issued and mailed to the address on record. You should receive the camera card within 2-3 weeks. You can use your marked permit as a license until the camera card is received.
If you fail the driver's skills test, the learner's permit will be marked, and the results will be submitted to PennDOT for processing. If you are over 18, you must wait 48 hours to retest. If you are under 18, you must wait seven days to retest. If this is your third unsuccessful attempt, your learner's permit will no longer be valid for continued practice, and you will need to obtain a new learner's permit.

Insurance Discount
By presenting your Certificate of Completion to your insurance provider, you may become eligible for a driver's education discount. This discount can vary depending on the insurance company and your specific policy, but it can often lead to a noticeable reduction in your annual insurance costs. Over the years you own a vehicle, these savings can really add up, putting more money back in your pocket.
