Our goal in providing this program is to prepare competent, skillful, and responsible young drivers who will have the right attitude toward safe driving and will, therefore, assist in reducing accidents on the streets and highways. Prior to beginning this program, it is required that students complete at least 10 hours of practice in becoming familiar with preparing for driving, understanding the motor vehicle functions, basic motion, steering, and signaling. Having advance preparation assists in the development of competent, confident, and safe drivers. Throughout the time frame of the lessons, students should be completing at least 60 hours of practice in addition to the instructed hours per PA Department of Motor Vehicles requirements. The PA Department of Motor Vehicles has some excellent resources including a guidebook for parents assisting in the practice of driving skills on their Teen Safety Tips page. Required Documents for Behind the Wheel Lessons: Valid PA Learner’s Permit Parental Consent Form Lessons for this course are available year round. All students must be 16 years of age and have secured either a learner’s permit or driver’s license. On-the-Road Skills Training consists of 6 - 1 hour sessions of individual behind-the-wheel training. Each lesson consists of skills that will build the student’s driving skills and should be practiced between sessions. Having advance preparation assists in the development of competent, confident, and safe drivers. Throughout the time frame of the lessons, students should be completing at least 60 hours of practice in addition to the instructed hours per PA Department of Motor Vehicles requirements. The 6th session may include an End of Skills Road Test which allows students to obtain their license.
