CLASS DESCRIPTIONS DRIVER EDUCATION
Behind the Wheel: There
are 6 hours of behind the wheel instruction. In-car skills that
we hope to cover are the basic maneuvers in a safe environment,
sharing the road with other types of vehicles, basic maneuvers in
more challenging environments, speed control, space management,
lane changing, expressway driving, city/country driving, parking
techniques, and test preparation. To pass the 6 hours of behind
the wheel driver education a student needs to complete all six hours
and pass the performance criteria for each lesson. We offer these
lessons in three (3), two (2) hour sessions. The student will drive
one-on-one with our highly qualified driving instructors. ( ***Remember it is not possible to become an accomplished driver by just taking a drivers education course. You must, however, diligently and conscientiously practice what you have learned in our classes and behind the wheel, do the required 60 hours (or more) of personal training with a driving mentor, and we then feel you will be well on your way to becoming a safe, courteous driver. Our curriculum is designed to make you a safe driver, not just get a license. Studies have shown that it takes nearly five years for a “new driver” to have the skills of an “average” driver.)

The MVA or the courts will notify drivers who must take the course by mail. Drivers must check their MVA or court letter to locate the due date for completing this course. Drivers, whose license has already been suspended or revoked, must complete the course before their license will be re-instated. Those attending must bring their referral letter if you have one. If you no longer have your letter or if you are taking this program as a preliminary strategy before your court date to show good intentions, you can still attend this course. These classes are typically offered every other Saturday or Sunday from 9AM to 3:30PM **please check our website for scheduled dates with a lunch break. The cost of this course is $60.00 cash or money order only and it is a six- (6) hour program. Those attending must bring their MVA or court referral letter if they have one. During the DIP program the clients will review the legal and safety issues that may be the cause of violations or crashes. In class there are usually lively in depth discussions of the problems that are the cause for needing these programs. Perry Hall Driving School, Inc. will promptly notify the MVA of a client’s completion. This course is frequently accepted by other states.

of $60.00 cash or money order. These classes are
typically offered every other Saturday or Sunday for 9AM to 11AM
This 3-hour program is mandatory for licensed drivers from other countries who want to convert to a Maryland license. In order to be eligible for a Maryland license with only this program, you “must” have a country license. An international license is not a country license. Upon completing this three-hour course, you will be issued a certificate. The client must take this certificate along with their country license, be required to pass a vision screening, knowledge and driving skills test. Once you complete all satisfactory, you will be issued a Maryland driver’s license. If you have had a country license for less than 18 months, you will be given a provisional license.

These are lessons that are designed
for students who have individual needs. This may be as simple as
practicing parallel parking and the basic maneuvers before the MVA
test. Again, it could be as complex as regaining confidence and
redeveloping skills after years of not driving. Regardless, Perry
Hall Driving School has been helping the nervous or anxious driver
for over thirty years. The cost of these lessons per hour
is $50.00 with a minimal lesson of two hours. If a person
would wish these lessons, all they need to do is call the office
to set up an appointment and the lesson is paid to the driver the
day of the lesson. Cash or money order makes payment for these private
lessons. Our office phone number is 410-256-2350. MVA Test Scheduling your MVA driving test
with Perry Hall Driving School assures you that a qualified instructor
who is there to help assist you at the MVA will accompany you to
the testing site. Our instructor will review your paperwork and
documents to make sure that everything is in order “before”
leaving for the MVA. You must have your learner’s permit with
you and you must have held this permit for a period of at least
four months. Also the rookie driver logbook must be completed and
signed in rear of logbook by the same person who signed for your
learner’s permit. (You must be driving under supervision of
a qualified licensed driver who is at least 21 with 3 yrs experience.
More than one person can be a mentor, but the logbook “must
be signed by the same person who signed for the rookie’s learner’s
permit”. You must have the driver education certificate we
issued you the day you completed our course. We will pick you up
at your home, school, or work and transport you to and from the
MVA. We give you a twenty minute “brush up” on the test
prep, plus wait with you while you take your test, you use our auto,
we wait while you get your license and photo and return you to your
home/school/ work in our auto. Our thirty years of experience shows
that this often takes two to three hours on a non busy day and can
be more than four hours at their peak times. The cost for
this service is $125.00 (for our students) $150.00
(for a student not from our school) and paid to the driver at the time
of service. Money order or cash makes payment. This service can
be obtained by calling our office and scheduling an appointment.
Our office number is 410-256-2350. Mentoring Packages This service is offered to students who feel
they have no one to help with all or part of their 40 hours of in
car driving under the supervision of a licensed driver. All or part
of these lessons may be taken with Perry Hall Driving School, Inc.
Driving with the professional instructor will develop and start
you on good practice techniques. Often both parents work and do
not have the time and sometime patience to work with the rookie
driver and ask for our additional assistance. The driving school
will not start mentor lessons until the student has completed the
whole driver education course. He or she can only sign for lessons
in your rookie logbook for lessons taken “after” your
six-hour driver education is completed. No Perry Hall Driving School
instructor will sign the 40-hour completion page unless the student
actually did all 40 hours with our school and instructor. $300.00 - 6 hours
- must be a Perry Hall Driving School Student
