5 questions on Arizona’s own driver fitness rules
These differ from the rules that hold nationally — they are the ones that catch out drivers who studied another state’s handbook.
1. In Arizona, it is unlawful to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle with an alcohol concentration of:
- A0.05 or more
- 0.08 or more
- C0.10 or more
- D0.15 or more
Answer: 0.08 or more. A.R.S. §28-1381 makes it unlawful to drive or be in actual physical control with an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more within two hours of driving.

2. Arizona's extreme DUI statute begins at an alcohol concentration of:
- A0.08
- B0.10
- 0.15
- D0.20
Answer: 0.15. A.R.S. §28-1382 covers driving or actual physical control with an alcohol concentration of 0.15 or more but less than 0.20, and a higher tier at 0.20 or more.

3. The minimum age to apply for an Arizona Class D or G instruction permit is:
- A14 years, 9 months
- B15 years
- 15 years and 6 months
- D16 years

4. For the first six months, an Arizona Class G licensee generally may not drive unsupervised between:
- A1 a.m. and 5 a.m.
- B10 p.m. and 5 a.m.
- C11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
- 12:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.
Answer: 12:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.. A.R.S. §28-3174(D) restricts Class G licensees for the first six months from driving on a public highway from 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. unless accompanied by a qualifying parent/guardian or driving directly to/from listed school, work, religious, or family-emergency destinations.

5. For the first six months, an Arizona Class G licensee generally may not drive with:
- More than one passenger under 18 (siblings and accompanied exceptions apply)
- BMore than three passengers of any age
- CA parent in the front seat
- DAny passengers
Answer: More than one passenger under 18 (siblings and accompanied exceptions apply). A.R.S. §28-3174(E) prohibits, for the first six months, driving with more than one passenger under eighteen, except siblings or when accompanied by a qualifying parent or legal guardian.
