Question: If I have a driving permit, how old does the other licensed driver in the car have to be?

Answer: According to Arizona Law, the licensed driver in the vehicle with the permitee must occupy the seat beside the permitee who is driving the vehicle and must hold a class A, B, C, or D driver's license. The law does not specify the required age of the licensed driver, however people must generally be 18 years old to have a class A, B, C, or D driver's license.

A person with a driver's permit may also want to check to see if the car insurance policy on the car and driver specify who the licensed driver can be. Legally, a licensed teen driver could accompany a permitee, but the insurance policy covering the vehicle may require the parent or legal guardian of the permitee to be in the car while the person with the permit is driving.

my friends were recently in a car wreck, one was 16 with her lisence and the other 15, witha permit, the 15 year old was driving, btu the 16 year old took the blame, for fear of getting in even more trouble if the fgirl witht he permit was driving. woud she have gotten in more trouble if she would have told the truth and said the girl with the permit was driving?
