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.

Now on this subject I think that if you have your permit you shouldn't have to have anyone in the car If you are responsible. Also If you passed your written test then apparently there wasn't anyone beside you helping you take the test. The government is so quick to think that you are going to do something wrong that they just mess it up for all the kids. Thats something i dont get at all.

yes, b/c they're as experienced as you. You need someone that's atleast 18 or older they would know what to do if you got into trouble or something. Then you mom would be mad at your dog and your dad would be a weird guy!!!!
