Most states require supervised driving hours before a teen can get a provisional license - typically 40 to 60 hours, with a nighttime minimum. This log tracks day and night hours against your state's requirement, saves automatically on this device, and prints cleanly for the DMV paperwork that still requires a signature.
Verify your state's exact requirement with its DMV before the license appointment.

How supervised hours actually work
- Quality beats quantity. Fifty hours of varied conditions - night, rain, highway, parking lots - beats a hundred hours of the same commute. Deliberately schedule the hard conditions.
- The parent is the supervisor. Requirements specify a licensed adult (often 21+, sometimes 25+); check your state's exact rule.
- Keep the paper trail. Some states require a signed log at the license appointment; even where optional, a printed log speeds things up.
- Log honestly. The hours requirement is a floor, not a goal - the first six months solo are the highest-risk period, and every real hour of practice lowers it.
Pair the log with a parent-teen driving contract so the rules are as clear as the hours.
