New-driver rules in Arkansas

Arkansas's graduated program starts at 14, when you can pass the State Police knowledge exam and vision test for an instruction permit (learner's license ages 14-15) and drive only with a licensed driver 21 or older. An intermediate license (ages 16-17) bans driving from 11:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. and allows no more than one unrelated minor passenger unless a licensed driver 21+ rides in front. At 18 you qualify for an unrestricted Class D license, which is purchased at a DFA revenue office after ASP testing is complete.
