Pennsylvania Insurance Discount Course

About Our Pennsylvania Insurance Discount Course

Pennsylvania is a state of extraordinary driving variety. Philadelphia's narrow colonial-era streets and aggressive city driving culture are entirely unlike the congested but grid-based Pittsburgh interchanges — which are themselves nothing like the long, lonely stretches of I-80 across the Northern Tier, or the steep mountain grades of I-76 through the Allegheny front where runaway truck ramps line the highway every few miles. Pennsylvania also gets more than its share of difficult weather: heavy lake-effect snow in Erie County, ice storms that glaze the Pocono Mountains overnight, and dense valley fog along the Susquehanna River that can cut visibility to near zero on rural US routes. DriveSafeToday's Pennsylvania Insurance Discount Course addresses all of these conditions head-on.

The curriculum is built around Pennsylvania law — administered through PennDOT, not the DMV — covering the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code, Pennsylvania's distracted driving legislation, the state's complex school bus stopping laws, and the specific rules for driving in Pennsylvania's extensive network of work zones along the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the interstate system. You'll also learn defensive techniques tailored to Pennsylvania's unique conditions: how to handle a truck downgrade on I-78, what to do when ice forms on a bridge before the road surface, and how to manage deer crossing zones on Pennsylvania's rural secondary highways — where deer strikes are among the most common collision types in the state.

Pennsylvania has one of the highest deer strike rates in the country, some of the most aggressive city driving in the Northeast, and weather that can shift from sunshine to blizzard in a single afternoon. This course prepares you for the Pennsylvania roads you actually drive.
