New Hampshire requires 40 hours of supervised driving, with 10 at night. The state has no minimum permit holding period (per IIHS), a relatively short nighttime curfew window (1 a.m. to 4 a.m.), and restricts passengers under 25 during the first six months — a wider age range than most states.

Meeting New Hampshire's 40 hours of supervised driving practice can feel overwhelming — especially when you're also juggling school schedules, extracurriculars, and work. DashLog makes it simple by automatically tracking every supervised drive your teen completes. Start a session, drive, and DashLog logs the date, time, duration, and whether it was a daytime or nighttime drive — all mapped against New Hampshire's specific GDL requirements.
Parents in New Hampshire get real-time progress dashboards showing exactly how many of the required 40 hours their teen has completed, including a breakdown of 10 hours at night hours. DashLog sends milestone alerts when your teen hits 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of their required hours — so you always know where you stand without manually counting on a paper log. Plus, live location tracking during drives gives parents peace of mind without micromanaging.
When it's time to visit the New Hampshire DMV, DashLog generates a clean, DMV-ready driving log report that documents every session with dates, times, and total hours. No more scrambling to find a crumpled paper log the night before the test. DashLog is free during our beta — join thousands of New Hampshire families already tracking their teen's progress.
