This phase includes six hours of actual on-the-road driving instruction with an instructor from an outside contractor in a dual- control car. Lessons may be scheduled during study halls, during major subjects on a rotating basis, after school, and on weekends. The instructor can administer the driving test to students during the last half-hour of their lesson if they have completed the theory portion training and have had their permit for six months. This eliminates the need to go to a Pennsylvania Driving Center to take the test.
