Vermont Driving Log for Supervised Practice Hours
Vermont junior drivers need 40 hours of supervised practice driving, including at least 10 hours at night, before a Junior Driver's License.
The learner's permit is held for at least one year, and a parent or guardian certifies the completed hours. Vermont provides an optional Driving Practice Log Sheet to track progress.
Tracking practice drives gets messy when the record lives on paper, in Notes, or in memory. Clocked helps Vermont families log completed drives as they happen, so total and night hours are easy to review before the certification. Always confirm current requirements with the Vermont DMV.

Vermont supervised driving requirement
Vermont requires 40 hours of supervised practice driving, with at least 10 of those hours at night. Vermont defines night as 30 minutes after sunset through 30 minutes before sunrise.
The learner's permit must be held for at least one year. For 16- and 17-year-olds, driver education — 30 classroom hours, 6 behind-the-wheel, and 6 observation hours — is also required.
Clocked is designed around that exact parent workflow:
- Log each completed practice drive
- Track total hours toward 40
- Track night hours toward 10
- Keep progress organized on one screen
- Export a clean PDF summary of completed drives before the certification
Certification vs. optional tracking tools
The required item is a parent or guardian certification that the 40 hours (including 10 at night) were completed. Qualifying supervision may include a parent, guardian, driver-education instructor, or licensed adult age 25 or older.
Vermont provides a Driving Practice Log Sheet as an optional way to track progress, and references other tracking options. Vermont does not require a specific numbered log form — the certification is what's required.
Clocked is a separate personal tracker, not a Vermont-referenced option. It does not replace the parent/guardian certification. It helps families keep a personal record of completed drives so the certification is easy to complete accurately.
