WINSLOW ARIZONA

We're very happy that you're starting the process of applying for your Winslow Arizona learner's permit or first Winslow Arizona driver license! Winslow Arizona has a graduated driver license program for Winslow Arizona drivers ages 15-18, and there are a few things we would like you to know to make sure that applying for your Winslow Arizona driving license is as trouble-free an experience as possible. So let's get started.

Even though you have to wait until you're 16 to apply for your first Winslow Arizona driver's license, you can apply for an Winslow Arizona instructional permit (otherwise known as an Winslow Arizona learner's permit) when you're 15 and a half. You'll need to take the following documents with you to the local Winslow Arizona DMV:

• social security card
• your birth certificate
• your $7 license fee
• two acceptable identification documents

• the written exam (it's best to thoroughly study the Winslow Arizona driver license manual!)
• vision test (all the information can be found in Winslow Arizona's DMV website)

If you pass, your reward is an Winslow Arizona instructional driver license!

If you're 16 or 17 and have held your Winslow Arizona learner's license for at least 6 months, you must surrender your Winslow Arizona learner's permit to apply for your Winslow Arizona graduated license--and yes, take the written test as well as the dreaded road test. Keep in mind the following before heading off to the Winslow Arizona DMV:

• Bring your Winslow Arizona learner's permit
• You need to bring $25 Winslow Arizona driver license fee
• You must complete at least 20 driving hours (signed by a parent, legal guardian, or certified driving instructor)
• 10 hour additional hours or night driving
• Your written test scores and two pieces of identification
• Also, remember to take along your Social Security card.

Before the road test, an examiner will check your car in order to ensure that it's in safe operating condition with the required equipment. During the test, you will be asked to make right and left turns, signal properly, use marked and unmarked traffic lanes, go in reverse, make a quick stop, park, and skillfully perform the dreaded three point turn.

Winslow Arizona Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties

For all Winslow Arizonans, driving is a privilege, not a right. For a new driver such as yourself, there are several additional restrictions you need to keep in mind regarding your Winslow Arizona learner's license or Winslow Arizona driver's license. Remember, we're not trying to spoil your fun, we're just trying to keep you safe!

If you just have your Winslow Arizona learner's permit, you must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or person over 21 who has a class A, B, C, or D Alaska driver license. The person who is supervising you must sit in the front passenger seat.

If you're 16 or older and have your Winslow Arizona graduated driver license, there are a few other rules that apply. For the first 6 months, a graduated license holder cannot drive a vehicle between 1:00AM and 5AM with the following exceptions:

• You have a parent, legal guardian with you
• You are going to or from your workplace, a school sponsored or religious event
• You are driving for reasons of a family emergency

Also, you can't drive with more than one passenger under 18 unless:

• The passengers are your siblings
• You're accompanied by your parent or legal guardian

Once the 6 months is over, you can drive without restriction until you turn 18, when you must apply for a Class D Winslow Arizona driver's license.

Winslow Arizona Auto Insurance Winslow Arizona Financial Responsibility Laws

Unfortunately, your work isn't done once you get your Winslow Arizona driver's license. Any vehicle that you drive in Winslow Arizona must be covered by liability insurance. Although it follows that the more coverage you purchase, the better you're protected from financial risks, Winslow Arizona requires only that you meet minimum requirements. Those minimum amounts of liability coverage are:

• $15,000 bodily injury coverage for one person in one accident
• $30,000 bodily injury coverage total per accident
• $10,000 property damage coverage per accident
  

If you are unlucky enough to be found with no proof of insurance for any reason, the penalty is suspension of your vehicle's registration and possibly even your driver's license.

Of course, Winslow Arizona takes drunk driving extremely seriously. Upon your first conviction of an Winslow Arizona DUI, you face:

• Imprisonment of 24 hours to 10 days
• A fine of $250
• Your license will also be suspended a minimum of 90 days to an entire year
• The court could also install an ignition interlock device on your car at your expense

Further Winslow Arizona DUI convictions will result in increased jail time, community service, fines, and Winslow Arizona license suspension or even Winslow Arizona license revocation.

Although cell phone use and text messaging are not currently illegal, as of March 10^th, 2010, there are several laws working their way through the Winslow Arizona legislature aimed at banning or restricting the use of text messaging and cell phones while driving.
