How to fill it in
- Write each session's date, day minutes, night minutes and the skills you practiced, such as parking or turns.
- 50 hours is 3,000 minutes, 40 hours is 2,400 and 15 night hours is 900.
- Add extra pages of the same DVS template if you need them. Logs on any other form aren't accepted.
- The parent or guardian who supervised most of the hours signs it.
Practice that pays off on the road test
The road test checks parallel parking, parking on a hill, the 90-degree backing maneuver, turns, lane use and intersections. Log time on each one. DVS encourages parents to go beyond the minimum hours.
