A. $50,000/$100,000 bodily injury and $25,000 property damage
Alaska requires at least $50,000 per person and $100,000 per crash for bodily injury or death, plus $25,000 for property damage. Either the owner or the driver must carry this insurance, and proof must be in the vehicle.
You are in a crash in which someone is injured, and you fail to give DMV proof of insurance within 15 days. What happens on a first occurrence?
- A You receive a written warning only
- B Your license is suspended for 90 days
- C Your license is suspended for 1 year
- D You pay a $50 fine with no suspension
Show answer
B. Your license is suspended for 90 days
If you were uninsured or do not provide proof within 15 days, your license is suspended for 90 days on a first occurrence and 1 year on a second. Prompt proof of insurance protects everyone hurt in the crash.
How many points will force a mandatory suspension or revocation of an Alaska driving privilege?
- A 6 points in 12 months or 9 points in 24 months
- B 10 points in 12 months or 15 points in 24 months
- C 12 points in 12 months or 18 points in 24 months
- D 18 points in 12 months or 24 points in 24 months
Show answer
C. 12 points in 12 months or 18 points in 24 months
Collecting 12 points in 12 months or 18 points in 24 months means a mandatory suspension or revocation, regardless of hardship. Drivers get a warning letter at the halfway mark so they can change their habits.
A provisional license holder gets 6 points within 12 months. What does Alaska require?
- A An automatic one-year revocation
- B Nothing until the driver reaches 12 points
- C Retaking the written knowledge test
- D Completion of a DMV-approved driver improvement course
Show answer
D. Completion of a DMV-approved driver improvement course
Provisional drivers who reach 6 or more points in 12 months, or 9 or more in 24 months, must finish a driver improvement course approved by DMV. The lower threshold catches risky habits early.
