Need for the Document

A young driver between the ages of 16 and 17 is required to obtain a driver's permit from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PDOT). You must wait six months from the time a permit is issued before taking the driver's license road test. During this six month period, you are required to get at least 50 hours of driving experience. A permit is valid for one year. However, it can be renewed up to three times. If you fail to pass the road test within three years of receiving a permit, you must apply for a brand new permit.
