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.

I just got a awsome bike and my bike permit. I do not have anybody to ride with that has a liscense but know how to ride very well b\c a friend who moved away taught me now i have to ride on my permit alone and i was wondering what happens if i ever get pulled over on it, because it will take me a few weeks to learn how to do a circle and figure 8 for the test so whats everybody think? i know a lot a people ride on just permits so if i follow and obey all the laws i don't think it i should worry cause i need to learn those things before my liscense exam.
