While we prefer students to come to one of our six main locations, we do offer pickup and drop-off services for an additional fee based on your specific situation. It’s all about making your learning experience as convenient as possible.

If your driver’s license is lost or stolen, you can apply online for a duplicate or at a PennDOT driver’s license center. There may be a fee for the replacement.

You must be at least 16 years old to obtain a learner’s permit. 16-year-olds can still obtain a Class C (non-commercial) driver’s license but they will need to have their driver’s permit for at least 6 months. The age requirement for a Class M (motorcycle) license is also 16.

Common mistakes include not having the required documentation, not studying for the written knowledge test, or not making an appointment if necessary. Double-check the requirements and prepare accordingly.

Yes, you can apply for a PA driver’s license if you are a legal resident but not a U.S. citizen. You will need to provide proof of legal status.

You can find the PA Driver’s Manual on the Drive2Drive website for free. It’s an essential resource for studying for the written knowledge test.

The Pennsylvania driving test includes parallel parking and demonstrating safe driving skills on the road. We’ll make sure you’re well-prepared for all aspects of the test.

The PA road test assesses your practical driving skills. The Pennsylvania road test consists of three parts. Knowledge of Vehicle Controls, Parallel Parking, and general driving on a PennDOT-approved testing route. No highway or 3-point turns are evaluated. A third-party road test at Driven2Drive is identical to a PennDOT road test.

The PA driving test is typically scored based on a point system. You are allowed to accumulate up to 30 points during the test. Points are deducted for various errors and violations. If you accumulate 31 or more points, you will fail the test. Common errors that result in point deductions include improper turns, failure to yield, speeding and not obeying traffic signals.

The number of points for a traffic violation in Pennsylvania varies depending on the severity of the offense. Minor violations may carry 2 or 3 points, while more serious violations can result in 4 or more points. Accumulating too many points on your driving record can lead to license suspension and higher insurance premiums.

Yes, there is a written knowledge test that you need to pass as part of the driver’s license application process. Study the Pennsylvania Driver’s Manual to prepare with apps in the Apple store and Google store for PA Permit Test.

At PennDOT, you will get a temporary plastic driver’s license right away. At a third-party license testing center like Driven2Drive, we post the result into PennDOT’s system and stamp your permit to validate it as their temporary driver’s license (which is valid for 120 days). PennDOT will then issue a camera card by mail, which you should receive in 2-3 weeks from the date of the road test. The processing time can vary, but you should receive your PA driver’s license by mail within a few weeks after passing the required tests.

Pennsylvania driver’s licenses are generally valid for four years. You will receive a renewal notice by mail prior to expiration. Renew your driver’s license online for your convenience.

DMV road test centers can be booked 4 to 6 weeks in advance, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead. We can help you with scheduling as part of our services.

If you’re over 18 and applying for a learner’s permit, you’ll need to complete the application process, including completing a physical examination and having a doctor sign the permit application. You will also need to pass a vision test and a written knowledge test.

The knowledge test is the same as the Permit test in PA. You can schedule the written knowledge test appointment, typically at a PennDOT driver’s license center. After passing the test, you’ll receive your learner’s permit.

Driven2Drive can get a road test scheduled in as little as 2 days or you can schedule an appointment for the behind-the-wheel test through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) website or by calling their customer service center. The PennDOT appointments are often scheduled a few weeks from the time of the request. Call Driven2Drive at (610)664-7400   to book your behind-the-wheel test.
