Parents or guardians are responsible for making certain that their teen has completed no less than 50 hours of supervised driving, with 10 of those hours completed between sunset and sunrise. The 50 hours can be completed with a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old. The following form is a tool for your convenience that will help you keep track of time spent on the road, and ensure that your teen has a diverse supervised driving experience. You want your teen to be as prepared as possible for their School Permit or Provisional Operator’s Permit.
