If you compose a Driving Log sheet for business or IRS deductions, follow these steps to log driving hours: Write down the vehicle operator's full name and the driver's license number. Provide a description of the vehicle - its make, model, type, year, and vehicle identification number. Register the destination of each trip. Mark the date, start time, and end time of each trip. Try to record this information on the same day the trips happen to keep the details as accurate as possible. Indicate the odometer readings of your car at the beginning and the end of the tax year, and before and after each trip. Record the total number of miles you drove for business. If you need a supervised Driving Log, include the following details in your document: Date and time of each practice. Keep track of your progress and do not forget to practice night driving; Description of activities and skills practiced during the driving session - for instance, parallel parking and roundabouts; Driving environment. It is recommended to drive in rural areas, highways, and cities; Weather conditions. Try to drive in the rain, fog, snow, and other adverse conditions; Total hours of supervised driving completed. You must have the required number of hours for your state (usually, you need between 30-50 hours of practice lessons in your Driving Log), so contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles to learn how many hours you need to comply with the requirements of driver's education. Since it is supervised driving, the document must be signed by the parent or guardian who was present during the practice.
