    printer friendly version

    Question: Did Arizona pass a law where you can't drive until you are 18?

    Answer: No, Arizona passed a graduated licensing law. All 15, 16 and 17-year olds applying for a graduated driver license on or after July 18, 2000, are affected by the new law, regardless of when they may have applied for an instruction permit Even holders of instructional permits received before July 18, 2000 must hold the instructional permit for a full five months before they can apply for a graduated license.

    your age shows in your comment. You think 16 year old should be able to drive because of what 18 year olds are supposedly doing? There are way too many stupid drivers out there now and not all of them are super young. It doesn't help however to have that many young kids out there in a dangerous weapon.

    It honestly depends on the driver whether they're old enough to obtain and mantain a permit/license. you cannot put every 15, 16, and 17 year old under a bunch of statistics saying hey, you all crash every 10 seconds. Because it's just not the case. Sure there will be accidents but every adult driver had to learn about those regardless of when they had their first accident. Stuff like that happens. I have no idea what kinda law should be passed but you could always punish those that disobey the law, punished very harshly or you could just pusish those who have not had a chance at all.

    I think sixteen year olds should be able to drive because eighteen year olds can not hold the responsibliity of driving and being able to drink. Statistics prove that fact.

    i think that every teen at the age of 15 and older should be able to take the test and drive if their not responseable enough than they should be punished harshly.
