Mississippi supervised driving hours

Mississippi asks teens with a learner permit for no minimum number of supervised hours before they take the road test.

No minimum number of hours, but plenty of practice still matters.

How much practice is enough?

Even without a required number, driving instructors and insurers generally recommend at least 50 hours of supervised practice across different roads, times of day and weather before a teen drives alone. Logging the drives shows what has been practised and what hasn't.

Keeping the log

Most states ask a parent or guardian to certify the hours, and many have their own form. Keep a record of each drive as it happens: the date, start and end time, how long it lasted, how much was at night, the conditions and who supervised. A log filled in weeks later from memory is rarely accurate.

Log Mississippi's hours with Wheeltime

Tap start when the drive begins. Wheeltime times it, works out the night minutes, and adds it to a log the whole family shares — so the drives with Grandma count too. Export the log as a PDF when it's time for the road test. Free, no account.
