Alaska: DMV Practice test

The consumption of alcohol first affects the portion of the brain that controls a person's judgment. Your judgment must remain in tact for you to be a safe driver. You cannot be a safe driver after consuming alcohol.

When stopped for a traffic violation or at an equipment check, the driver is responsible for producing their license, proof of registration, and proof of insurance. Drivers are required to have all three of these documents in a vehicle when it is being driven.

You must not drive at a speed that is faster than is reasonable and prudent. You must drive at a speed that is appropriate for the area where you are driving, the type and condition of surrounding traffic, the presence of pedestrians, the weather, the quality of the road, and light conditions. You must drive within legal speed limits.

This sign indicates that there is a railroad crossing on the road ahead. You should always slow down when approaching a railroad crossing. Trains cannot yield to cars, so you must let them pass before crossing the tracks.

If you are being tailgated by another driver and there is a right lane, move over to the right. If there is no right lane, wait until the road ahead is clear and then reduce your speed slowly. This will encourage the tailgater to drive around you. Never slow down abruptly as this will only increase the risk of your vehicle being hit from behind.

If you refuse to take a breath test, or if your breath test result shows a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher, your driver license will be revoked. The revocation period is a minimum of 90 days.
