What counts as night in Arizona?
Night runs from sunset to sunrise. Permy works out sunset and sunrise from where you drive.
Your state's guidance doesn't give exact night hours, so Permy counts night from sunset to sunrise.
Which pathway applies?
This state has more than one set of requirements. Which one applies depends on the learner.
- Standard requirement: 30 total / 10 night
- Qualifying traffic / defensive education: 20 total / 6 night. Generic high-school or private driver education is a separate ADOT option, not automatic eligibility for this 20/6 pathway.
- Approved course / road-test waiver: Informational only. ADOT lists this as a separate approved-course option with proof of completion within its specified period. Permy does not invent an additional numeric supervised-practice target for it. Confirm course eligibility with ADOT.
Where do these numbers come from?
Arizona has a standard 30/10 pathway and a reduced qualifying driver-education pathway. Not sure defaults to the standard pathway.
