What driver fitness rules are on the Alaska permit test?

Alaska's driver fitness questions come from its own statutes and the Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles handbook. QuizLane covers 2 Alaska-specific driver fitness items, drawn from 2 distinct source sections, alongside 10 questions on rules that apply in every state.

How many driver fitness questions are on the Alaska permit test?

Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles does not publish a per-topic breakdown. The test as a whole has 20 questions and you need 16 correct (80%) to pass, so driver fitness is worth studying alongside every other topic rather than in isolation.

Are these official Alaska DMV driver fitness questions?

No. These are original study questions written against Alaska law and the official handbook, each carrying the section it came from. They are not endorsed by Alaska Division of Motor Vehicles and are not copies of the real exam.

Do I need an account to practice Alaska driver fitness questions?

No. Practice starts immediately as a guest. An account is optional and only saves your attempt history across devices.

2 questions on Alaska’s own driver fitness rules

These differ from the rules that hold nationally — they are the ones that catch out drivers who studied another state’s handbook.

1. In Alaska, if you are under 21 and operate a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol in any amount, you can be cited for:
- AOnly a parking violation
- Minor operating after consuming alcohol
- CA federal offense only
- DNothing unless BAC is 0.08%
Answer: Minor operating after consuming alcohol. The Alaska Driver Manual states it is illegal for a person under 21 to consume alcohol, and if you operate a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol in any amount you can be arrested or cited for minor operating after consuming alcohol; any quantity of alcohol on a breath test can trigger DMV revocation.

2. In Alaska, you are presumed to be driving under the influence with a breath or blood alcohol concentration of:
- 0.08% or more
- B0.10% or more
- CAny measurable amount for adults
- D0.05% or more
Answer: 0.08% or more. The Alaska Driver Manual states that if you operate a motor vehicle with a breath or blood alcohol concentration of .08 or more, by law you are presumed to be driving under the influence (DUI).

Driver fitness rules that hold in every state

A sample of the national driver fitness bank. All 10 are in the practice run, combined with the Alaska items above for 12 questions in total.

1. Night driving is more demanding largely because:
- ATires grip less in darkness
- BRoads are busier after dark
- Reduced visibility and slower glare recovery limit what you can see
- DSigns are removed at night
Answer: Reduced visibility and slower glare recovery limit what you can see. You can only react to what you can see. Reduce speed so your stopping distance stays within the lit area ahead.

2. Long stretches of unchanging highway can produce highway hypnosis, which is best countered by:
- AIncreasing your speed
- BDriving with the windows closed
- CFixing your gaze on the centre line
- Shifting your eyes regularly and taking breaks
Answer: Shifting your eyes regularly and taking breaks. A drowsy, trance-like state develops when the eyes stop moving. Keep scanning mirrors and the road ahead, and stop to rest regularly.

3. Under state Implied Consent laws, by accepting a driver license you automatically agree to:
- AProvide transportation for emergency personnel
- BCarry full commercial insurance
- CPay all traffic fines immediately
- Submit to a chemical test for alcohol or drugs if lawfully requested
