Permy: Teen Driving Log counts these hours the way South Dakota counts them and works out night from your local sunset. Permy Pro, a one-time purchase, fills in the Affidavit of Completion of Required Supervised Driving 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 South Dakota?
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?
A required Supervised Driving Statement/affidavit certifies these hours. A Permy export does not replace it.
