First reason is All students like the feeling of getting that “Plastic” Driver’s License on the same day they pass the test. This can be done only if one passes the Road test at PennDot. With 3rd Party Testers, even if one successfully passes the Road test, one DOES NOT get that “Plastic” Driver’s License the same day. Your current Permit will serve as your driver’s license for next 2 to 4 weeks. You will get a “Camera Card” from PennDot by mail in 2 to 4 weeks and then you will have to go to Penn Dot to have your photo taken. . Second reason is the 3rd Party Testers will charge $100 to $150 extra fees to give the test. Please note that there is no fees to take the Road test. The fact is that you have already paid for the Road test at the PennDot when you paid your fees to take the Permit test. Again PennDot does not charge a fee to give Road Tests, not to you and not to any schools. At Complete Auto Driving School, we choose to stay simple. We are BEST at teaching Safe Driving and that is what we do. We prefer to have our students take the test at PennDot, the old fashion way..
