Alaska DMV Test at a Glance

Alaska Speed Limits

In Alaska, the maximum speed limit on highways is 65 mph. In residential areas, you must drive no faster than 25 mph, and in school zones the limit drops to 20 mph when children are present or lights are flashing. Rural roads have a limit of 55 mph.

Speed limit questions are among the most commonly tested on the Alaska DMV exam. The test will give you several close options — you need to know the exact number for your state, not just a rough estimate.

Alaska DUI Laws

Alaska uses the term DUI for impaired driving offenses. The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08% for drivers 21 and older. For drivers under 21, Alaska has a zero-tolerance policy — any detectable amount of alcohol can result in license action.

Under Alaska's implied consent law, by holding a driver's license you have already agreed to submit to chemical testing if an officer suspects impaired driving. Refusing a test typically results in an automatic license suspension — often longer than the penalty for a first-offense DUI.

Unique Alaska Driving Laws

Every state has its own set of driving laws that may differ from what you're used to. Here are some notable Alaska-specific rules to know:

• Alaska has a zero-tolerance policy for drivers under 21 — any detectable BAC results in license revocation
• Studded tires are permitted from September 15 through May 1
• Drivers must use headlights at all times on the Seward Highway and certain other designated highways

How to Get Your Alaska Learner's Permit

In Alaska, you can apply for a learner's permit at age 14. After meeting all supervised driving requirements and passing both the written and road tests, you can get your full driver's license at age 16.

The Alaska written knowledge exam consists of 20 questions, and you need to answer at least 16 correctly to pass — that's a 80% passing rate. Our practice tests use 25 questions so you can build your knowledge before tackling the real thing.

Once you have your license, be aware of Alaska's point system: Alaska uses a point system with 2 points per minor violation and up to 10 for serious offenses. 12 points in 12 months triggers a suspension.
