Pennsylvania is well known among driving instructors for its comparatively high supervised practice-hour culture — commonly cited around 65 hours including night and bad-weather driving for junior permit holders, though exact current figures should always be confirmed with PennDOT since requirements are periodically reviewed. Instructors must be certified through a PennDOT-approved driving school.
