Everything a Arizona parent needs in one place — required practice hours, night-driving rules, permit age, and what the written test looks like — plus a free log that keeps the hours straight.
Requirements summarized from the official Arizona driver handbook.
Requirements: Pass the written and vision tests. Log 30 supervised hours, including 10 at night (20 hours if driver education is completed).
Restrictions: A licensed driver 21+ must be in the front seat. Hold at least 6 months.
Requirements: Hold the permit 6 months, complete the supervised hours, and pass the road test.
Restrictions: First 6 months: no passengers under 18 except siblings. No driving midnight-5 a.m. unless for work, school, or with a parent.
Requirements: Class G restrictions end at 18.
Restrictions: None specific to age.
Arizona requires every front seat occupant to be belted while the vehicle is moving, and any child under 8 years old must ride in a child passenger restraint system.
When no limit is posted, Arizona law sets the maximum: 15 mph approaching a school crosswalk, 25 mph in business or residential districts, 55 mph on open highways and city freeways, 65 mph on designated open highways, and 75 mph on rural freeways.
A test at 0.08 percent or more costs you your driving privilege on the spot, and you can still be convicted below that level. For drivers under 21 Arizona is zero tolerance — any alcohol in your system can suspend your license.
Stop before a school bus picking up or dropping off passengers and remain stopped until it moves ahead or its stop-sign arm and flashing lights are no longer shown; the opposite direction is exempt only on a physically divided roadway. Yield to pedestrians in marked or unmarked crosswalks, stop when anyone occupies a school crossing, never pass a vehicle stopped for a pedestrian, and observe 15 mph when approaching a school crosswalk.
Do not drive into or park within the block where an emergency vehicle has stopped. When passing any vehicle pulled over with flashing lights, move over one lane; if that is unsafe or impossible, slow down and use caution.
At an uncontrolled intersection or one with an inoperative signal, treat it as a 4-way stop; if two vehicles arrive at about the same time, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right.
