A 3-minute lesson from the Arizona course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
An instruction permit is your learning stage: you drive only with a qualified licensed adult beside you. Arizona has three permit types — graduated, operator and motorcycle — and each has its own minimum age and rules.
Before any Arizona instruction permit is issued, you must pass the Division's written test — the test this app prepares you for.
With a graduated or operator permit, you must be accompanied by a Class A, B, C or D licensed driver at least 21 years old who sits in the seat beside you.
You're 15 years 6 months old with a new graduated permit. Your 19-year-old licensed cousin offers to ride along. Not allowed — your supervising driver must hold a Class A, B, C or D license, be at least 21, and sit in the seat beside you.
