Kentucky teen driving log
Kentucky Driving Log for Teen Permit Hours
Kentucky teen drivers generally need 60 hours of supervised driving, including at least 10 hours at night, while holding a learner's permit before moving toward the next license stage.
Kentucky also expects a signed supervised-driving log confirming those hours before applying — so families need a way to keep an accurate record along the way.
Clocked helps Kentucky families record drives, separate night hours, and keep an organized practice record. Families should still verify Kentucky's current process directly with Kentucky Driver Licensing.

Kentucky supervised driving requirements
Kentucky teen drivers generally need 60 hours of supervised driving before moving toward the next license stage. At least 10 of those hours must be at night. There is no separate highway or freeway hour total identified in the Kentucky data reviewed.
The learner's permit must generally be held for at least 180 days before a teen can move to an intermediate license. The minimum age to apply is not included in the data source reviewed here — families should confirm current age thresholds directly with Kentucky Driver Licensing.
Clocked is designed around that exact parent workflow:
- Log each supervised practice drive
- Track total hours toward 60
- Track night hours toward 10
- Keep progress organized on one screen
- Export a clean summary for family records

Do Kentucky families need a driving log?
Yes. Kentucky requires a parent/guardian-signed Practice Driving Log confirming the supervised practice hours were completed before moving to the Intermediate License phase. Families need a reliable way to know those hours — including the 10 night hours — actually added up.
Clocked can help families track drives and keep a clean running record as practice happens, but it is not an official government form. A Clocked record does not replace any Kentucky Transportation Cabinet or Driver Licensing process, driver-education requirement, or official certification, and Clocked is not endorsed by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet or Kentucky Driver Licensing.
Families should confirm the current forms, ages, and steps directly with Kentucky Driver Licensing.
Tired of rebuilding the record later? Track each Kentucky practice drive in Clocked as soon as it happens.

Before applying for an intermediate license
As your teen gets close to applying, it helps to double-check the details rather than assume:
- Confirm the teen has reached 60 total supervised hours, including 10 at night.
- Confirm the learner's permit has been held at least 180 days.
- Confirm the current minimum age, driver-education, and testing requirements with Kentucky Driver Licensing.
- Verify the current forms, fees, and steps with Kentucky Driver Licensing before scheduling.
This page is a general summary, not legal advice. Requirements can change, and individual situations vary, so families should verify current Kentucky Driver Licensing requirements before applying.
Families may also want a written agreement before practice drives. Clocked offers a free parent-teen driving agreement template to help parents and teens set expectations around phones, passengers, night driving, and safe rides.
