Harper is 15 and has held her instruction permit for a year. Her driving log shows 50 supervised hours, all on paved city streets in daylight. What does North Dakota require before her road test?

Correct answer: She must also practice rural, gravel, night and winter driving

Why

Each listed condition trains a skill that city daylight driving does not: gravel and winter surfaces give less traction, rural roads have higher speeds and animals, and darkness limits what you can see. On the road-test day, a parent or legal guardian comes to the test site and signs that the hours are complete. The supervised driving log at the back of the manual helps families track the hours for each condition.
