Example questions & answers

1

When changing lanes, which of these actions is considered optional?

Illustration for question 1
  • A.Using your hand signals or turn signals
  • B.Checking your mirrors
  • C.Looking over your shoulder
  • D.None of the above✓

Why: All three actions—signaling, checking mirrors, and looking over your shoulder—are mandatory safety requirements for changing lanes. Skipping any of these steps significantly increases the risk of a collision with a vehicle you might have missed.

2

What is the recommended minimum following distance when you are driving behind another vehicle in Alaska?

Illustration for question 2
  • A.One car length for every 10 mph of speed
  • B.40 feet
  • C.Two seconds
  • D.Four seconds✓

Why: The State of Alaska Driver Manual recommends a minimum following distance of four seconds to provide a safe buffer for reacting to hazards. While state law (13 AAC 02.090) requires at least two seconds, the four-second rule is the recommended standard for safety.
