Driver’s licenses now
split into six classes
HARRISBURG - Effective
July 1, 1977, the Department
of Transportation will begin
to implement the “classes of
driver’s license” provision of
the Motor Vehicle Code.
Frank X. Garber, director
of PennDOT’s Bureau of
Motor Vehicles, announced
that any individual renewing
a driver’s license on a July,
1977, renewal application
form will be required to
indicate on the application
the type of vehicles' they are
qualified to operate.
Those drivers currently
licensed as school bus
drivers or motorcycle
drivers will automatically
have those “classes” en
dorsed on their license.
Any applicant who does
not qualify for a 2,3,4,5, or 6
class will automatically
receive a Class One. The
floowing are the description
of classes of licenses:
Class 1 • (Minimum age -
16) A Class One license will
be issued to those persons
who are qualified to operate
a single vehicle not in excess
of 30,000 lbs. registered gross
weight or any such vehicle
towing a trailer not in excess
of 10,000 lbs. gross weight.
Class 2 - (Minimum age -
18) A Class Two license will
be issued to those persons
who are qualified to operate
a single vehicle over 30,000
lbs. registers gross weight or
any bus or any such vehicle

or 10,000 lbs. gross weight.

motorized pedacycle

Instructions have been
inserted in every application
thatis being mailed from the
Bureau of Motor Vehicles
beginning with the July,
1977, applications.
All applications should be
returned in the self
addressed return envelope to
expedite the processing of
the application.
Only the central office in
Harrisburg will receive and
process the applications. The
regional offices in Pitt
sburgh and Philadelphia will
not have the facilities to
process these applications.
Because of this change in
procedure, it is suggested
that all applicants return the
completed application to the
Bureau of Motor Vehicles
upon receipt of their ap
plication.
The applications are
mailed out approximately
seven weeks prior to ex
piration date. This change in
procedure was implemented
for the protection of the
applicant.
Applicants must self
certify that they have had
experience in the operation
of the classes of vehicles that
they have checked. If any
individual self-certifies that
they have had experience
driving a certain vehicle of a
class other than a passenger
vehicle and it is documented
later that this constituted a.
misstatement of fact, -the
penalty upon conviction for a
misdemeanor of the second
degree i£ a $5OOO fine.
Those persons who 'at a
later date wish to add an
additional class to their
driver’s license after they
have received their new
driver’s license will be
required to obtain a lear
ner’s permit and suc
cessfully complete a driver’s
examination administered
by the Pennsylvania State
Police.
This new “class of driver’s
licenses” is an important
new feature in the interest of
safety on our highways.
