The provisions of this Chapter 84 issued under the Vehicle Code, 75 Pa.C.S. § § 1504(c), 1505—1507, 1514(b), 1514(c), and 6103, unless otherwise noted.
The provisions of this Chapter 84 adopted August 13, 1982, effective August 14, 1982, 12 Pa.B. 2694, unless otherwise noted.
The purpose of this chapter is to establish a procedure for issuance of a dual-control learner’s permit to a driver or applicant who fails a driving examination required or authorized under 75 Pa.C.S. § 1514(b) or (c).
The following words and terms, when used in this chapter, shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
(a) General rule. Upon application of a driver or applicant who had failed a driving examination required or authorized under 75 Pa.C.S. § 1514(b) or (c) (relating to expiration and renewal of driver’s license), the Department will issue a special learner’s permit authorizing the permittee to drive only a dual control motor vehicle while accompanied by and under the immediate supervision of an instructor of an approved driver training program if the driver or applicant satisfies the Department that there is a reasonable likelihood that he will be able to pass the driving examination with additional driver training.
(1) The special learner’s permit will be valid for a period of 120 days. It will be reissuable for an additional 120-day period unless the permittee has failed the three examinations authorized in subsection (b). No further reissuance will be made without a showing of good cause.
(2) The driver’s operating privileges, which will have been recalled under 75 Pa.C.S. § 1519(c) (relating to determination of incompetency), will be temporarily restored only for the limited purpose and term of the special learner’s permit.
(b) Examination. Upon successful completion of an approved driving training program, the permittee may undergo a driver’s examination no more than three times within a 120-day period. The driver’s examination will be conducted by a person authorized by the Department. Upon successful completion of the examination, the driver’s operating privilege will be renewed or restored, or a driver’s license will be issued to the applicant.
A request for a dual-control learner’s permit shall be submitted on the appropriate form to the Bureau of Driver Licensing, together with the required fee.
