The Arizona MVD motorcycle knowledge test has 30 multiple-choice questions. You need to answer at least 24 correctly (80%) to pass. Questions are drawn from the Arizona Motorcycle Operator Manual.

Arizona has a partial helmet law (A.R.S. 28-964) — only operators and passengers under 18 must wear a helmet. Riders 18 and older may legally ride without one, though it's strongly recommended. Eye protection is separately required for operators unless the motorcycle has a protective windshield.

No. Lane splitting between moving vehicles is illegal. However, since 2022, Arizona permits limited lane filtering of completely stopped traffic — but only when speed stays at or under 15 mph, the posted limit is 45 mph or less, and the road has 2+ same-direction lanes. All conditions must be met simultaneously.

Arizona requires the same minimums as cars: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident / $15,000 property damage (25/50/15).

Under A.R.S. 12-2505, an injured rider's compensation is reduced by their own fault percentage, but they can still recover damages even if found mostly at fault. Arizona courts also routinely allow helmet non-use as evidence to reduce head injury damages — even though it isn't negligence per se.

Complete an MVD-approved motorcycle education program — unless a parent/guardian certifies at least 30 hours of motorcycle training and driving practice.

For riders 21+: 0.08% (Standard DUI). 0.15-0.199% is an Extreme DUI; 0.20%+ is a Super Extreme DUI with the harshest penalties. Commercial drivers: 0.04%. Under 21: true zero tolerance.

One application fee gives you 3 attempts to pass the knowledge and skills tests within a 12-month period.

Not conducted after noon local time, June through August — a scheduling restriction reflecting Arizona's extreme summer afternoon heat.

The AZ test covers 8 areas: motorcycle controls and operation (T-CLOCS, SEE strategy, MVD education program, 30-hour parent certification), lane positioning (splitting illegal, 2022 filtering rules, full-lane-use rights), road signs and signals (dust storm, flash flood warnings), helmet and safety gear (under-18 helmet law, eye protection, comparative fault implications), Arizona traffic laws (25/50/15 insurance, tiered DUI system, pure comparative fault, 84-month lookback), hazardous conditions (haboobs, extreme heat, monsoon storms, elevation changes), passengers and cargo, and rider fitness and responsibility.
