Permy: Teen Driving Log counts these hours the way Indiana counts them and works out night from your local sunset.

What counts as night in Indiana?
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.
Which pathway applies?
This state has more than one set of requirements. Which one applies depends on the learner.
- Standard requirement: 50 total / 10 night
- Approved night-practice exemption: 50 total / night exemption. This pathway applies only to the official restriction/exemption. It does not waive the 50-hour total or other licensing requirements.
