Night driving rules
Nebraska defines night as sunset to sunrise. That means the exact hours shift throughout the year. In winter, you might start logging night hours as early as 5 PM. In summer, you could be waiting until 8:30 or later. Check your local sunset time before heading out if you need night hours.
What your supervisor needs to know
Your supervising driver must be at least 21 years old and have a valid driver’s license. They need to sit in the front passenger seat and be ready to take over at any time.
Driver education
Driver education is not required in Nebraska. There are two paths to your license: you can complete a state-approved driver ed course, or you can go the parent-taught route. Either way, you need 50 hours of supervised driving with 10 at night.
Tracking your hours
Paper logs are terrible. They get lost, they’re easy to fudge, and nobody wants to do math at 10 PM after a driving session. Moda tracks your hours automatically, categorizes day vs. night, and shows you exactly how close you are to finishing Nebraska’s requirements.
