Illinois supervised driving
Illinois 50-Hour Practice Driving Log (DSD X 152)
Illinois requires 50 hours of supervised practice driving — including 10 at night — during the permit phase of its Graduated Driver Licensing program. The DSD X 152 is the state's practice driving log for those hours.
What the DSD X 152 tracks
The form records 50 hours of behind-the-wheel practice with a parent, guardian, or licensed adult at least 21 years old who has held a valid license for at least a year, at least 10 hours of which must be at night. A parent or guardian certifies the total.
How Driving Log helps
Record every supervised drive by date, minutes, and day or night. Driving Log totals the hours against the 50-hour and 10-hour-night requirements, so the DSD X 152 certification is backed by an accurate record.
Worked example: certifying with confidence
When it is time to certify the 50 hours, a parent can check the running totals in Driving Log — full hours and night hours — instead of estimating. The DSD X 152 then reflects what actually happened.
