Full research notes, including what could not be confirmed

Arizona Driver License Manual and Customer Service Guide (ADOT MVD, Revised March 2026, apps.azdot.gov) and Arizona Revised Statutes (azleg.gov: A.R.S. 28-701.02 excessive speeding, 28-775 Move Over, 28-909 seat belts, 28-914 handheld phone, 28-907 child restraint, 4-244(34) under-21 zero tolerance) — researched and verified 2026-08-18. Exam format caveat: ADOT officially confirms only an 80% passing score; no official question count for the real (non-practice) knowledge test is published anywhere on an official AZ source — only ADOT's own official practice tests (30 and 35 questions) exist as a proxy, so this module uses signCount: 0, ruleCount: 35, rulePassPct: 0.80 as a proxy figure, not a confirmed real exam length. Re-verification attempted again 2026-08-20 (azdot.gov driver-services and MVD subpages fetched directly) again turned up no official question-count figure, consistent with the original finding. Several statute citations (28-701.02, 28-909, 28-914, 28-907) were retrieved via an AI-summarized fetch rather than raw statute text — figures are internally consistent and cross-checked against the manual, but treat with light caution and re-verify against azleg.gov directly if precision matters. Known gaps deliberately NOT invented: truck/bus no-zone footage figures (only a qualitative mention found); distance-from-fire-station parking rule (no AZ rule found, unlike some other states); driveway/private-road right-of-way statute language (no explicit AZ statement found beyond general right-of-way principles); lane-control (reversible-lane) signal appearance (AZ's manual only discusses double-dashed-yellow reversible lane markings, no overhead signal description); a rear-facing/forward-facing car-seat age-or-weight split (AZ's statute doesn't legislate one, deferring to each seat's own federal certification); ADOT-published distracted-driving statistics (none found). CONTENT AUDIT 2026-08-20: former r73 (teen) was removed rather than replaced — it tested whether the manual specifies a classroom/behind-the-wheel hour count for driver-ed programs (a fact about the manual's own coverage, not a driving/traffic-law fact), and this session could not reach a live official AZ source to source a genuine replacement teen-category fact for that same sub-topic; the teen category still carries 13 well-sourced questions. EXAM FORMAT CORRECTED 2026-08-22: ruleCount was 35, unsupported. azdot.gov/mvd/services/driver-license-ID/permit-test states 'The written test consists of 30 multiple-choice questions.' and 'A score of 80% or higher is required to pass the actual test.' ruleCount is now 30; ceil(30 x 0.8) = 24. No separate sign section. Re-verify periodically, as ADOT manual content, fees, and statutory thresholds change over time.
