Ressler’s Driving Academy caters to drivers of varying abilities in most counties in southwestern Pennsylvania. During our sessions, we can pick you up and drop you off at your home for a more hassle-free experience. Beginner drivers need a Pennsylvania learner’s permit before drivers training begins. State law now requires all drivers aged 16 and 17 to practice driving for six months with a learner’s permit. The law also requires a minimum of 65 total supervised hours of driving practice before taking the Pennsylvania driving test. Students with a Pennsylvania learner’s permit must always be accompanied by a licensed driver who is 21 years old or older (if spouse, parent or guardian this age is reduced to 18). However, driving with a learner’s permit is limited within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, so make sure not to practice driving out of the state.

Ressler’s Driving Academy offers a driver rehabilitation program. We serve any person of driving age who has a physical or cognitive disability that may affect their driving ability. Both beginner and experienced drivers who were involved in an accident or had a life-changing event may enroll in our program to be evaluated and/or receive driver’s training. RDA can evaluate you or train you if you are willing to learn and have a desire to be an independent driver. You must be able to ambulate to the training vehicle, with or without adaptive assistance, or use a manual wheelchair and transfer from the manual wheelchair to the driver’s seat.

RDA’s medical form needs completed by your physician. Driving evaluation (2-3 hours at your home). Driver’s Training (if needed). Take driving test at local DMV. Prescription for adaptive driving equipment (if needed). Get adaptive equipment in your vehicle (if needed)
