Driving Laws and Traffic Laws |

|
Alaska traffic
laws aim squarely at accident prevention
through identification, control and
rehabilitation of recognized problem
drivers. |
|
|
|
The Law works this way:
- Convictions for moving traffic violations
are assigned numeric point value ranging from 2
points to 10 points.
- Violations with the highest likelihood of
contributing to crashes are assigned the higher
point values
- Upon the acquisition of a determined number
of points, the violator will be notified and
warned to take a hard look at his driving
habits.
- Credits may be earned for violation-free
driving, and/or completion of a driver
improvement course.
- Additional point accumulations may require a
personal interview with a Driver Improvement
Specialist. Drivers appearing for the interview
may be required to comply with certain
recommendations designed to improve their
driving abilities.
- Under Alaska traffic laws, the accumulation
of 12 points in 12 months or 18 points in 24
months requires the mandatory suspension or
revocation of the driving privilege, regardless
of the hardships involved.
- A provisional license holder who accumulates
6 or more points in a 12-month period or 9 or
more points in a 24-month period must complete
a driver improvement course approved
