Utah requires every driver under 19 to log 40 hours of supervised practice driving with a parent or guardian before the road test — 10 of those hours after sunset. This isn't optional paperwork; schools and testers can ask to see it.
- Start logging from your first supervised drive — Every session with a permit counts, not just formal lessons.
- Track day and night hours separately — At least 10 of the 40 hours must be after sunset.
- Keep it until the road test — Bring the completed log to your road test appointment; some schools and testers ask to see it.
