I have reffered to the PA Drivers manual but have not found an answer to my question regarding a learner's permit and being over 21. It ony gives you information based on being a minor obtaining a permit. It says that all minors must be supervised by a passenger who is a licensed adult over 21 while they have a learner's permit. However, it does not proceed to explain the circumstances for an adult over the age of 21 in the minor's position. Will I need to be supervised by a licensed passenger also over 21 after I obtain a learner's permit. Thanks.

Even if you are over 21, you must be accompanied by another person over 21. It is illegal to drive without a valid license unless you are accompanied by an adult 21 year or older and you have a valid driver's permit.

Thanks, do I also need to obtain 50 hours of driving school and wait 6 months before I can take the road test, or can I take the road take immediately?

I'm fairly certain you have to do both. I'd call PennDot though.

Hi There!
My son was 18 when he went for his learner's permit. He did have to have someone ride with him as you can't drive without a driver's license, but....HE DID NOT HAVE TO WAIT THE FULL SIX MONTHS BEFORE GETTING HIS LICENSE. I guess the reasoning for this would be he would no longer be considered a junior driver. We still made him wait a little while, but not the six months. And also, they never look at the "50 hours" driving time, I was told that is just for your record.

Well, good luck !!
