When both the student driver and the supervising parent, guardian or instructor download Karching Diver Education and when both are in the same car, the two phones will automatically record the trip--no hands required. KarChing Driver Education calculates and records the length of the trip and the number of daytime and/or nighttime minutes, as well as, the name of the supervisor present. KarChing Driver Education shows you a running total of the driving time with a supervisor in the detail on the Dashboard and Driver Log. To get your drivers license, show the driver log with your 50 supervised hours and nighttime hours to the DMV or print out a Karching Driver Education provided PDF version of the driver log.
