These come from questions learners find hardest. Each links to the page of the handbook it comes from.
Arizona lowers the certified practice to 20 hours, with at least 6 at night, when the minor has completed a Traffic Survival School or Defensive Driving course. Otherwise the requirement is 30 hours with 10 at night.
Arizona Driver License Manual and Customer Service Guide, page 13During the first 6 months the curfew does not apply when driving directly to or from a place of employment, a sanctioned school or religious activity, or a family emergency. Any other late-night trip needs a licensed parent or guardian in the front seat.
Arizona Driver License Manual and Customer Service Guide, page 12DUI, extreme DUI, reckless driving, racing and aggressive driving each carry 8 points in Arizona. That alone reaches the 8-point level that requires Traffic Survival School.
Arizona Driver License Manual and Customer Service Guide, page 63Arizona lists specific point values for serious offences, and all other moving violations carry 2 points. Small violations still add up toward the 8-point Traffic Survival School threshold.
Arizona Driver License Manual and Customer Service Guide, page 63Aggressive driving means a series of acts that create an immediate hazard: exceeding the posted speed limit plus two listed violations, such as running signals, passing on the right, unsafe lane changes, following too closely or failing to yield to emergency vehicles. A first offence means Traffic Survival School and a possible 30-day suspension.
Arizona Driver License Manual and Customer Service Guide, page 60Arizona has zero tolerance for drivers under 21: any alcohol in the body while driving is illegal. When the offense is committed under age 18, the law adds a 2-year license suspension once MVD receives the conviction.
Arizona Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division websiteAggravated DUI includes a DUI while your license is suspended or revoked, a third DUI within 7 years, or a DUI with a person under 15 in the vehicle. It can bring up to 2 years in prison and a 1-year license revocation.
Arizona Driver License Manual and Customer Service Guide, page 66Arizona requires children under 5 to ride in a child restraint, and children between 5 and 8 to stay in one until they are at least 4 feet 9 inches tall. Seat belts are designed for adults and do not fit small children.
