Point values speeding — Alaska Permit Test

Point values speeding on the Alaska permit test — 4 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.

The rules

Speeding 3 to 9 mph over the limit carries 2 points in Alaska.

Even a few miles an hour over adds to stopping distance and to how hard a crash hits.

3 to 9 mph over limit ...................................................................................................... 2

Alaska Driver Manual, p.16

Speeding 10 to 19 mph over the limit carries 4 points in Alaska.

The faster a car goes, the less time a driver has to react, so the points climb with the speed.

10 to 19 mph over limit .................................................................................................. 4

Alaska Driver Manual, p.16

Speeding 20 mph or more over the limit carries 6 points in Alaska.

At that speed a driver often cannot stop for what is ahead, and crashes are far more deadly.

20 mph or more over limit.............................................................................................. 6

Alaska Driver Manual, p.16

Speeding in a school zone or playground crosswalk carries 6 points in Alaska.

Children dart out without looking, and a speeding car near a school has no time to stop.

In school zone or playground crosswalk ........................................................................ 6

How this works

Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.

You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.

Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.

What it costs
