About the Arizona permit test
The basics, in plain English, from the Arizona Driver License Manual.
Permit from 15½
You can get a graduated instruction permit at 15 years and 6 months after passing the written test. It's valid for 12 months. (Arizona Driver License Manual, p. 12–13)
A licensed adult beside you
With a permit, the person in the seat next to you must be at least 21 and hold a Class A, B, C or D license. (Arizona Driver License Manual, p. 12)
Six months before the graduated license
Under 18, hold your permit at least 6 months and finish approved driver education, or have a parent certify 30 hours of practice, 10 of them at night. (Arizona Driver License Manual, p. 13)
The first six months
A new graduated driver can't drive from midnight to 5 a.m. or carry more than one passenger under 18, apart from listed exceptions such as siblings. (Arizona Driver License Manual, p. 12)
Phones stay out of your hand
Arizona doesn't allow holding or supporting a phone while driving. Hands-free and voice-to-text use is allowed. (Arizona Driver License Manual, p. 24)
Zero tolerance under 21
Under 21, any trace of alcohol or impairing drugs can cost you your license, and the manual warns of a two-year suspension. (Arizona Driver License Manual, p. 60)
Arizona permit test FAQ
How old do I have to be for an Arizona instruction permit?
At least 15 years and 6 months for a graduated (or motorcycle) permit. An operator permit, for drivers 18 and older, needs you to be 18. (Arizona Driver License Manual, p. 12)
Who can ride with me while I drive on a permit?
A driver aged 21 or older with a Class A, B, C or D license, sitting in the seat beside you. (Arizona Driver License Manual, p. 12)
What do I need for a graduated license?
Be 16 to 17, hold an Arizona permit for at least 6 months, and either finish MVD-approved driver education or have a parent certify 30 hours of supervised practice, including 10 at night. (Arizona Driver License Manual, p. 12–13)
How far do I keep from a bicycle when passing?
At least 3 feet. Don't honk as you pass, because the noise can startle the rider. (Arizona Driver License Manual, p. 50)
