Question 1: In Arizona, what is the minimum age to obtain a Class D (regular) driver license without restrictions?
- 16
- 17 (Correct answer)
- 18
- 21
Correct answer: 17
Arizona requires drivers to be at least 16 to hold an instruction permit and 16 with supervised practice hours, but a full unrestricted Class D license requires age 18 (or 16/17 with completion of a graduated licensing program).
Question 2: Under Arizona law, a driver must yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. How far back must a vehicle stop from the crosswalk?
- At the edge of the crosswalk markings
- At least 5 feet before the crosswalk
- At the stop line or before entering the crosswalk (Correct answer)
- At least 10 feet before the crosswalk
Correct answer: At the stop line or before entering the crosswalk
Arizona law requires drivers to stop at the designated stop line or, if none exists, before entering the crosswalk to yield to pedestrians.
Question 3: Arizona's 'Move Over' law requires drivers approaching a stationary emergency vehicle with lights activated on a multi-lane road to:
- Slow down to 15 mph
- Move one lane away from the vehicle if safe to do so (Correct answer)
- Stop completely until the vehicle moves
- Honk to alert the emergency crew
Correct answer: Move one lane away from the vehicle if safe to do so
Arizona's Move Over law (ARS 28-775) requires drivers to move one lane away from a stationary authorized emergency, tow, or highway maintenance vehicle; if unable to move over, they must slow to a safe speed.
Question 4: In Arizona, what blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is the legal limit for drivers aged 21 and over before they are considered DUI per se?
- 0.05%
- 0.08% (Correct answer)
- 0.10%

Correct answer: 0.08%
Arizona law (ARS 28-1381) establishes 0.08% BAC as the per se DUI limit for drivers 21 and older.
Question 5: When two vehicles arrive at an uncontrolled intersection at the same time, Arizona law gives the right-of-way to:
- The vehicle traveling at a higher speed
- The vehicle on the left
- The vehicle on the right (Correct answer)
- The larger vehicle
Correct answer: The vehicle on the right
Arizona's right-of-way rule at uncontrolled intersections (ARS 28-772) states that a driver must yield to a vehicle that is on the right.
Question 6: In Arizona, school bus stops require drivers traveling in BOTH directions on an undivided road to stop when the bus displays flashing red lights. What is the exception to this rule?
- When the speed limit is above 45 mph
- When traveling on a divided highway with a physical barrier separating traffic (Correct answer)
- When no children are visibly present
- When the driver is in an emergency vehicle
Correct answer: When traveling on a divided highway with a physical barrier separating traffic
On a divided highway with a physical median or barrier, only drivers approaching from the same direction as the bus are required to stop.
Question 7: Arizona law requires that a driver involved in a collision resulting in injury, death, or property damage over a certain amount must immediately report it. What is the property damage threshold?

- $5,000
Correct answer: $1,000
Under ARS 28-667, a driver must report a crash to law enforcement when property damage appears to exceed $1,000 or when there is injury or death.
