- B 14
- C 16
- D 15 and a half
Show answer
B. 14
In Alaska you may get an instruction permit once you are 14 years old, and it is valid for two years. Starting early gives you time to build supervised experience before the provisional license at 16.

- A A licensed driver at least 21 with at least one year of experience in that class
- B Any licensed driver who is at least 18 years old

Show answer
A. A licensed driver at least 21 with at least one year of experience in that class
Your supervisor must be a licensed driver who is at least 21 and has at least one year of driving experience in the same type or class of vehicle. This makes sure the person beside you is mature and experienced enough to help.

For passenger vehicles, the licensed supervising driver must sit in the seat beside you. From there they can see what you see, give advice, and help in an emergency.
