North Dakota permit driving hours: 50 hours, 10 at night
North Dakota's DOT ties 50 supervised hours, 10 at night, plus driver's ed to teens who start at 14 or 15. For first-time applicants who are 16 or 17, the official page lists only a 6-month permit hold, so it is unclear whether the hours apply.
