instruction course?

Students need to have completed the classroom portion of driver's education and need to have the certificate (Green Card) from their school.

Students can enroll in behind-the-wheel if their 45 hour driver's log is not complete
but they will not be issued a license until they have completed the log.

What is provisional drivers license (PDL)

A provisional driver's license is a valid Virginia license as long as it is carried with a
learner's permit. This is a temporary license for your child to use until he/she receives
their scheduled appointment to attend a juvenile licensing ceremony in the county in
which the student resides.
