Permy: Teen Driving Log counts these hours the way West Virginia counts them and works out night from your local sunset. Permy Pro, a one-time purchase, fills in the DMV-10-GDL 50-Hour Certification Log 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 West Virginia?
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.
- Supervised-practice pathway: 50 total / 10 night
- Driver's Education Card pathway: Informational only
Where do these numbers come from?
West Virginia has a 50 total / 10 night supervised-practice pathway. A qualifying Driver's Education Card pathway may substitute for hour verification; Permy does not invent a separate numeric target for that pathway.
