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 it would make matters even worse if they changed the law to the age of 18 yrs. I mean think about it if you get your licence at 18 that is the time you go to collage. that leaves you a couple of months to drive in your town with your parents, therefore you have very little experience of driving and you are about to leave home. If you are 16 yrs old when you get your licence, you have two years to drive in your town with your parents and become a by far better, more comfortable, and mature driver. If they want to change the law to 18 because they think your more mature then thats stupid

I think that getting your license till your 18 is a bad idea because alot of peope will be wanting to go to work to earn money for college and will have to depend on other people to get them there. I also think its a bad idea because people will be going to college and will just be learning how to drive and probley wont even be able to get thier license till the next summer.
