Questions & answers
Where do state hour totals come from?
Targets for supervised hours, night hours, permit-holding months, and related notes are based on structured data the app ships for all U.S. states and D.C. (sourced from public graduated-driver-licensing references).
A few states also track separate “inclement weather” style hours in the app where we model that (for example California’s additional practice bucket). Requirements can change—always confirm final rules with your DMV.
Which states get an official-form PDF layout?
On the Export tab, if your driver’s state is supported, you can leave “official form” on to generate HTML/PDF aligned to that state’s supervised driving log paperwork. Supported codes today include Maine, Ohio, Colorado, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Texas (30-hour log layout), and Wisconsin.
Turn the official-form toggle off to use the app’s enhanced export layout instead. Other states still get a clear, complete log—it just isn’t matched to a specific DMV form yet.
