Alaska: DMV Practice test

Warning signs prepare drivers for upcoming road conditions and hazards and are usually yellow with black markings. This sign warns drivers that they are approaching a winding road and that they should adjust their speed accordingly.

A steady yellow arrow indicates that a red arrow is about to appear. Stop unless you are already within the intersection.

Drowsiness can make people drive so poorly that they appear to be drunk. Opening a window, turning on the radio, or drinking coffee is not enough to make a drowsy driver alert to roadway hazards.

Driving at high speeds results in tire wear and poor gasoline mileage. Vary your speed from time to time to prevent monotony and road hypnosis. You are not required to drive at the maximum speed limit. However, you should not drive so slowly that you interrupt the flow of traffic.

Because it is dark, drivers cannot see as well at night as they can during the day. From one half hour after sunset until one half hour before sunrise, or at any other time when persons or vehicles are not visible for 500 feet, drivers must use their headlights.

If you are driving next to a dashed line, passing over the line is permitted from your lane if the way is clear. Yellow lines indicate lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions.

This sign indicate that the right lane ends ahead.

Upon the approach of an emergency vehicle that is using its siren, traffic must yield the right-of-way by pulling to the side of the street and stopping. Drivers should remain in that position until the emergency vehicle has passed.

After drinking alcohol, there is nothing you can do to speed up the process of the alcohol leaving your body. Black coffee, fresh air, food, or a cold shower might wake you up, but they won't sober you up. Only time will eliminate the effects of alcohol.
