North Dakota teen driving log
North Dakota Driving Log for Supervised Practice Hours
North Dakota's 50 hours of practice driving "in variable conditions" — with a formal driver-education course and a 12-month permit — is listed for the ages 14–15 permit path.
For drivers who get a permit at 16–17, NDDOT lists a 6-month permit period and a road test; the 50-hour and formal driver-education requirements are not listed for that path. No fixed nighttime-practice quota was verified — a nighttime driving restriction is not the same as required night practice hours.
Clocked helps North Dakota families keep a personal record of completed drives — especially useful for the 50-hour, ages 14–15 path. Always confirm the current requirements for your age with NDDOT.

Quick answer
Here is the short version for North Dakota families:
| Requirement | North Dakota rule |
|---|---|
| Ages 14–15 path | 50 hours (variable conditions) + formal driver education |
| Permit held (ages 14–15) | 12 months |
| Permit held (ages 16–17) | 6 months (50-hour & driver-ed not listed for this path) |
| Night-practice hours | No fixed nighttime-practice quota |
| Documentation | No prescribed official drive-by-drive log was located |
Source note: NDDOT's learner-permit page lists the 50-hour "variable conditions" requirement, formal driver education, and a 12-month permit under the ages 14–15 path; the ages 16–17 path lists a 6-month permit and road test without those requirements. NDDOT — How to Apply for a Learner's Permit
North Dakota's age paths
North Dakota's learner-permit requirements are presented by age. On the NDDOT enumeration:
- Ages 14–15: hold the permit at least 12 months, complete a formal driver-education course, and complete 50 hours of practice driving in variable conditions, then pass a road test.
- Ages 16–17: hold the permit at least 6 months, then pass a road test. The 50-hour and formal driver-education requirements are not listed for this path.
No fixed nighttime-practice quota was verified. North Dakota does apply a nighttime driving restriction on the restricted license — but that is a limit on when a new driver may drive, not a required number of night practice hours. Confirm the requirements for your age with NDDOT.
Clocked helps most on the 50-hour, ages 14–15 path:

Documenting the hours

Clocked is a separate personal tracker. It does not submit anything to the state and does not replace any NDDOT process — it simply helps families keep their own record of completed drives toward the 50-hour requirement.
Fifty hours adds up faster with a running record. Log each North Dakota practice drive in Clocked as soon as it happens.

Clocked keeps that private record for your own family reference.
