Permy: Teen Driving Log counts these hours the way the District of Columbia counts them and works out night from your local sunset. Permy Pro, a one-time purchase, fills in the DMV-GRAD-HR40 Certification of Eligibility for Provisional License from your drives; you sign it and add a few details by hand. Get Permy on the App Store.
Permy is an independent app, not affiliated with any state agency. Confirm the current requirements with your state agency before relying on them.
What counts as night in the District of Columbia?
Night runs from sunset to sunrise. Permy works out sunset and sunrise from where you drive.
Your state's guidance doesn't give exact night hours, so Permy counts night from sunset to sunrise.
Where do these numbers come from?
40 hours in the learner stage; 10 night hours are required later, in the intermediate stage. This target covers learner-to-provisional certification (40 hours). The later full-license stage separately requires 10 supervised night hours and its own certification; this screen does not track that stage.
