LEARNER'S PERMIT
Did you know that if you are under 18 years of age, you need the consent and signature of an adult to apply for a permit and that the adult can be held responsible and liable should something happen while you are operating a motor vehicle. Under the law, a person who signs the application of a minor for a permit or license can be held responsible and liable for damages caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of a minor while driving a motor vehicle.
Applying for a Permit: A.R.S. §28-3154
- You must be at least 15 years and 7 months to apply for a permit for a Class D driver’s license. Beginning on January 1, 2000 you will be need to apply for a permit for a Class G Driver’s license. (House Bill 2438 changes the driver’s license for 16-18 year-olds from a Class D to a Class G license. This goes into effect on January 1, 2000.)
- You must pass a written exam to obtain a permit.
- A permit only entitles you, the permittee, to drive a motor vehicle, excluding a motorcycle, on public highways for 12 months. While you are driving you must:
A. Have your permit in your possession.
B. Be accompanied by a person with a driver’s license.
C. Have the licensed driver sitting beside you while you are driving.
- You must be at least 15 years and 7 months old to apply for a permit for a Class M license which is to operate a motorcycle (ARS 28-3156).
- A permit for a Class M license is valid for 6 months.
Cancellation of license: A.R.S. §28-3162
A person or parent who signs that application of a minor for a drivers license may file a written request to cancel the driver license of a minor.
Unlicensed minor liability: A.R.S. §28-3163
An owner or owners of a motor vehicle who causes or who knowingly permits an unlicensed minor to drive a vehicle on a highway or who gives and or furnishes a motor vehicle to an unlicensed minor are liable, along with the minor for damages caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the minor in driving the vehicle.

I think the laws should stay as they are now. And to all you kids who say 13 is a responsible enough age to drive at, think again. You are nowhere near close enough to drive, nor is there a purpose for you to be on the road, it's not like you can get jobs.

i will be ticke off magorly if they change the driving age to get a drivers license. I think that the law should stay the same at the age of 18 and should never change. There are so many rules to get a license that once you get it there are even more rules but the main rule is Have Fun but be safe so i guess that all the laws aren't so bad. but i still don't want to wait to get my license! it will be fun to get a license then i can drive a car instead of ridding my horse everywhere!
