Sample questions from this test
At what blood or breath alcohol concentration is an Alaska driver presumed to be driving under the influence?
- A .10 or more
- B .08 or more
- C .05 or more
- D .04 or more
Show answer
B. .08 or more
Driving with a breath or blood alcohol concentration of .08 or more means you are presumed to be under the influence. You can still be impaired below that level, so the safest choice is not to drink and drive.
When must your headlights be on in Alaska?
- A From sunset to sunrise only
- B From 1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise
- C Only when street lights are off
- D From 1/2 hour after sunset to 1/2 hour before sunrise
Show answer
D. From 1/2 hour after sunset to 1/2 hour before sunrise
Headlights must be on from one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise. Turning them on at dusk also helps other drivers see you.

How should you use the acceleration lane when entering a freeway?

- B Drive slowly so freeway traffic can see you
- C Merge right away at the start of the lane
- D Speed up to match freeway traffic before merging

The light turns yellow as you approach the intersection. What should you do?
- A Speed up to beat the red light
- B Stop instantly, even if you are in the intersection
- C Keep going at the same speed no matter what
- D Stop, unless you are too close to stop safely
Show answer
D. Stop, unless you are too close to stop safely
A yellow light means red is about to appear. Stop unless you are already in the intersection or so close that you cannot stop safely.
