How many total hours of driving must a student complete with a parent or legal guardian?

To obtain a learner's permit in Utah, it's required for students to complete a total of 40 hours of driving practice with a parent or legal guardian. This ensures that they gain adequate real-world experience under various driving conditions before they are eligible for a full driver's license. These hours must include at least 10 hours of nighttime driving, which is particularly important for developing the skills necessary to navigate safely after dark. This practice is designed to help new drivers build confidence and competence on the road.
