You apply with PennDOT form DL-59. Without driver's education, you wait until 18.

Yes. Lessons are private, one student to one instructor, and we pick you up and drop you off at home, work or school.

Your first lesson is usually the fundamentals: positioning, driving lanes, and using the gas and brake properly. The second is usually defensive driving, where you learn to scan for hazards and change lanes safely. The third is usually road test preparation.

If during the first hour of your first lesson you feel the lesson doesn't meet your expectations, ask your instructor to stop. You can request a refund of that first hour by mail within 15 days.

We can help, but PennDOT now requires the last four digits of a Social Security number to schedule a road test, so you book it yourself on PennDOT's site.
