Question: Can someone with a driver’s permit operate a motor vehicle if another person with a driver’s permit rides in the front seat?

Answer:

The permit entitles the permittee to operate a motor vehicle requiring a class D license when all of the following conditions are met:

1. The permittee has the permit in the permittee's immediate possession.

2. The permittee drives on a designated highway or within a designated area.

3. An approved instructor who has a class A, B, C or D license occupies a seat beside the permittee.

ARS 28-3154  and ARS 28-3155 are related to driving permits.

i think it is better this way...you probably wouldn't know how to drive if you just had to take the test without having a permit for a while...an adult should always be in the front seat if you only have a permit; if someone else with a permit was sitting in the front seat, they might not be able to help you out in situations where as an adult with a lisence could.

I BELEAVE THAT YOU GUYS SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET YOUR PERMIT A YEAR BEFORE YOU GET YOUR LISENCE BECAUSE I DON'T THINK A YEAR AND A HALF IS ENOUGH TIME TO BE AN EXPERANCED DRIVER ON YOUR OWN.

I think that teens should be able to drive right after they get their permit. Well if you are a good driver and you pass the road test and the teacher says that you are responsible to drive a vehical then you should be able to drive with a license at any age well not under 15 i would say. So what do you think? Should the rule be that way?

I thought a person with a permit can drive by herself during the day, but has to have some one with them at night...??
