Alaska Permit Practice Test 3

Correct answer: Judgment

A person’s judgment is the first ability impaired by drinking alcohol. Alcohol also slows reflexes, reduces alertness, and impairs vision.

Correct answer: Practicing driving a non-commercial vehicle while accompanied by a qualified licensed driver

Instruction permits (IP, IM, IE) let a learner practice driving. The IP class is for non-commercial motor vehicles, and the learner must be accompanied by a qualified licensed driver.

Correct answer: No closer than 30 feet

You may not park within 30 feet of a stop sign. A vehicle parked too close can hide the sign from approaching drivers.

Correct answer: Stop and yield to all traffic on the road you are entering

You must stop and yield when entering a street or road from an alley, driveway, or building, giving the right-of-way to traffic already on the roadway and to pedestrians.

Correct answer: Shaded areas and bridges

Shaded areas, protected areas, and bridges become slippery before the rest of the road surface and stay slippery longer. Be extra alert during thawing and freezing weather.

Correct answer: Obey traffic signs, signals, and all other traffic laws

Bicyclists are required to obey traffic signs, signals, and all other traffic laws, and to ride near the right-hand edge of the road traveling in the same direction as traffic.

Correct answer: Make the movement shown, which has the right-of-way, while still observing caution

A green arrow means make the movement indicated by the arrow. That movement has the right-of-way, but still observe caution and yield to anyone still in or entering the intersection with the right-of-way.

Correct answer: White on green

Guide signs are white on green. They provide destination, route guidance, and place names — pay special attention to mileage information.

Correct answer: A speed that lets you stop within the clear distance ahead of you

A person may not drive at a speed greater than will permit them to stop within the assured clear distance ahead.

Correct answer: Pointed straight ahead

Keep your front wheels straight while waiting to turn left. If you are struck from behind with the wheels already turned, you can be pushed into oncoming traffic.

Correct answer: Depressant, not a stimulant

Alcohol is a depressant, not a stimulant. It slows normal reflexes, interferes with judgment, reduces alertness, and impairs vision.

Correct answer: Your Social Security Number, proof of residence address, and proof of date of birth

You must furnish your Social Security Number, proof of your residence address, and documentary proof of your date of birth, U.S. citizenship, or authorized stay. Hospital-issued and baptismal certificates are not acceptable.

Correct answer: No closer than 20 feet

It is illegal to park within 20 feet of a crosswalk or intersection. Keeping that distance clear preserves sight lines for drivers and pedestrians.

Correct answer: Reduce their speed to a reasonable and proper rate and keep the vehicle under control

Drivers shall have their vehicle under control and reduce speed to a reasonable and proper rate when approaching and traversing an intersection.

Correct answer: In the direction of the skid

To recover from a skid, stay calm and turn the front wheels in the direction of the skid. Don’t brake suddenly and don’t oversteer or overcorrect.

Correct answer: Turns left in front of an oncoming motorcycle

Drivers turning left in front of oncoming motorcyclists cause a large percentage of car-cycle crashes, often because they fail to pick the cyclist out of traffic or misjudge the speed. Look once, then look again.

Correct answer: Regardless of what the signs or signals show

You must follow the directions of a police officer, fireperson, or authorized flag person regardless of signs or signals.

Correct answer: Services such as gas, food, lodging, and rest areas

Service signs are white on blue. They mark conveniences such as gas, phone, food, lodging, rest areas, campgrounds, and litter barrels.

Correct answer: Doubled

Certain portions of highway may be designated as traffic safety corridors to promote safety. Fines for traffic offenses occurring in the corridor are doubled.

Correct answer: Oncoming vehicles and pedestrians

When turning left you must yield to all oncoming vehicles and to pedestrians before completing the turn, then turn into the proper lane without cutting the corner.
