Missouri supervised driving
Missouri Driver Experience Log (Form 4901)
Missouri requires 40 hours of supervised driving — including 10 hours at night — on the instruction permit before the intermediate license. The Form 4901 Driver Experience Log tracks those hours, with each drive's start and end time.
What the Form 4901 requires
The log records 40 hours of behind-the-wheel practice with a qualified adult, at least 10 of them at night, over an instruction permit held at least 182 days. A qualified adult accompanies the teen to the license office to verify the hours — the 4901 is a convenience log, not mailed in.
How Learner Log helps
Record each drive by date and its start and end time — the 4901 prints both — and Learner Log totals the hours against the 40-hour and 10-hour-night requirements. When you're done, it generates the print-ready Form 4901 to keep and certify from.
Worked example: the 182-day wait
Because the permit must be held at least 182 days, starting the log early matters: a teen who logs steadily from day one usually has the 40 hours well before the wait is up, instead of scrambling at the end.
