Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about using Student Driver Hours to track and manage your driving practice.

Yes. Tap any drive in your log to open the details screen, where you can adjust the date, start time, end time, duration, or the day/night split. This comes in handy if you forgot to start the timer, made a quick stop mid-drive, or if the automatic day/night detection needs a small correction. To remove a drive entirely, use the delete option on that same screen. Your exported PDF reflects exactly what's in your log, so keeping records accurate is worth the extra minute.

When you're ready to apply, export a PDF that lists every drive with its date, time, duration, and day/night breakdown. That's the format most DMVs and instructors ask for. If your state requires a specific official form, the export gives you all the data you need to fill it in.
Open the export screen inside the app and tap Export Logs to generate a PDF. It includes each drive's date, start time, end time, total duration, and day/night breakdown.
