HB 2582 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in licensing of drivers, further providing for learners' permits and for examination of applicant for driver's license.

This bill requires minors under 18 in Pennsylvania to complete educational materials on distracted driving and work zone safety before they can take their driver's license exam. Additionally, the written test for a driver's license will include at least one question about safe driving in work zones, and the state driver's manual will be updated to cover this topic. These changes aim to ensure that new drivers, particularly young ones, have specific knowledge about hazards in construction areas and while using electronic devices before they are licensed.
