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.
Arizona issues licenses by class. The class tells you which vehicles you may drive. Most new drivers start with Class G, and adults drive on Class D. Motorcycles and commercial vehicles need their own classes.
A motorcycle applicant must also complete an MVD-approved motorcycle education program, or a parent/guardian must certify in writing at least 30 hours of supervised motorcycle practice.
You're 17 with a Class G license and want to ride a motorcycle legally. You need a motorcycle permit held for at least six months, plus an approved motorcycle course or 30 certified practice hours, before you can add Class M.
