What Michigan requires
In Michigan, a learner permit is available starting at age 14 (and nine months, with Segment 1 driver ed). Michigan requires 50 hours of supervised driving, including 40 in daylight and 10 at night before a teen can finish the supervised-driving stage of licensing.
The learner permit also has to be held for at least 6 months before a teen can move up to the next license stage in Michigan, so it's worth starting the log early.
The completed log is submitted on the Michigan Supervised Driving Log. Learner Log generates a print-ready Michigan Supervised Driving Log filled in from your logged drives, ready to submit. No hand-copying a paper tally.
