Meeting Kansas's 50 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 Kansas's specific GDL requirements.
Parents in Kansas get real-time progress dashboards showing exactly how many of the required 50 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 Kansas 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 Kansas families already tracking their teen's progress.
