Your Junior License will automatically become a Regular/Unrestricted License on your 18th birthday. You can upgrade your license 6 months before turning 18 if you have held your Junior License for at least 1 year, have remained free of violations and crashes, and have taken a certified driver education course (classroom or online training, along with behind-the-wheel training) from your school, AAA Central Penn, or another PA Department of Education-approved private driving school.
