To get a license, you need to obtain behind-the-wheel instruction and practice. Supervised driving requirements vary from state to state usually, you need to drive between 30 and 50 hours with an instructor, between 10 and 15 hours at night time. Check the requirements for your state by contacting your local Department of Motor Vehicles. To keep track of time spent on the road and diversify a supervised driving experience, complete a supervised Driving Log. State the date and time of driving, length of driving time, indicate whether you drove at day or night, describe the driving environment and weather conditions, and list the skills you practiced.
