What are the Arkansas State Driving Laws?

Answer:
Under Arkansas state law, all children under
the age of 15 must wear safety belts in your vehicle. Also, children under the age of six or who weigh less than 60 pounds must be in an approved child safety seat. Failure to comply with this law brings a $25 fine. Arkansas does not have a ban on the use of cell phones while driving. Also, anyone who is under the age of 21 and riding or driving a motorcycle must wear a proper helmet.


You must always obey the posted speed limit in the state of Arkansas, regardless of if you think it is safe to go faster. On the interstate, you are permitted to travel 70 mph. On urban interstates or highways the speed limit will be 55 mph. Roads in town have lower speed limits, as posted. Failure to follow these speed limit guidelines will earn you a ticket and a fine. If you are traveling 15 mph above the speed limit, you will face a reckless driving fine.

You must always yield the right of way to emergency vehicles. If you can pull over to the right of the road, you should, no matter which direction the emergency vehicle is coming from. If you are passing one that is stopped on the side of the road, you should move over into the left lane if possible, or you must slow down.
