Summary of Pennsylvania licensing process for minors.

A Driver Education course is not a prerequisite to getting your Learner's Permit, or Junior License.  If you do not foresee a need for an unrestricted license until 18 you will not be required to take a traditional driving course.  If you do decide you require an unrestricted license prior to turning 18 you will be required to take a commercial driving course..  Teens between the ages of 16 - 18 are required to complete the following 3 steps:

Pennsylvania has a three stage licensing process for minors.

  1. Learner's Permit (at least age 16) We recommend our Driver Ed in a Box® - to use during the Learner stage. Shows the parent how to teach collision-free driving habits and provides unique teaching tools (mirrors, checklists, videos, audio instruction series, etc.).
  2. Junior License (ages 16 1/2 - 17) Can not drive between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
  3. Regular License (age 18 without state approved driver education course). (Age 17 if has had Junior license at least 6 months and completed state approved driver education course).

Driver Ed in a Box® will help your teen become a safe collision - free driver.  Please take your time, go through our website and see for yourself the value in using our course.  Then purchase the course, study the first section to prepare for the learners license exam, follow the course and checklist to enjoy your driving experience over the learner's period,.

Good luck and we hope you have many, many years of collision free driving ahead!!

Please see the chart at the bottom of this page for requirements for each licensing stage.

Teens want to know how to stay out of collisions!
Today’s teens do not just want their license; they want to be good collision-free drivers. They know the risks. Virtually all have friends who got a license and were involved in a collision in the first four weeks. Most teens have lost classmates due to fatal collisions.
Driver Ed in a Box® Certificate of Completion!

Our product now includes both the Interactive CD-Rom Version and the Textbook Version for one low price.  You may use either version to complete the course at your own pace.

Teens want to know "why" the things you ask them to do will work. When you complete the full course you get a Certificate of Completion. Take this to your insurance agent. It varies state by state and by insurance company, but you may receive an insurance discount.
Using the full course your teen will learn why each step is important while learning the collision-free HABITS that make you a better driver. The full course also includes a section on Social & Consumer Issues. This includes how alcohol and drugs as well as emotions and attitude affect driving performance. Also covered are vehicle ownership (buying, leasing, insuring, and maintaining).
Over 15,000 students have used Driver Ed in a Box®.
  "My in-vehicle training experience was very convenient and suited my family perfectly. It was nice to practice driving in the vehicle that I use all the time. Teaching me to drive while actually going to where we needed to be saved my parents a lot of time and trouble. I appreciated short practice sessions over many months with my parents instead of intense sessions with a stranger. After listening to your audiotapes my parents were much better at giving me clear instructions." - Student, Washington Boro, Pennsylvania
