Ohio Launches RoadReady App to Track 50 Learner Driving Hours

2 articles · Updated · The Columbus Dispatch · May 15

RoadReady Ohio now lets learner drivers log the 50 practice hours required for licensing and generate an affidavit report to notarize before the driving test.
The app uses separate student and supervisor accounts, with the supervisor’s phone recording drive time and trip data while scoring braking, acceleration, speed and turning.
Ohio’s 2025 law expanded the 50-hour requirement to any driver under 21 and to applicants for nonrenewable or nontransferable licenses.
Those applicants also must complete 24 hours of classroom or online instruction and eight hours behind the wheel with a licensed instructor.
