Question 1

When passing a bicyclist on a two-lane road in Alaska, you should leave at least how much clearance?

Accepted Answer

Three feet

Answer

Alaska drivers must give bicyclists at least three feet of clearance when passing.

Question 2

A large truck is signaling a right turn at an intersection but swings wide to the left first. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Stay behind and do not pass on the right

Answer

Trucks swing wide to make right turns, so squeezing into the right-side gap risks being crushed.

Question 3

You are driving behind a motorcycle in Alaska. How much following distance should you allow compared to following a car?

Accepted Answer

More, at least four seconds

Answer

Motorcycles can stop quickly and may fall on slick surfaces, so allow a longer following distance of at least four seconds.

Question 4

If you cannot see a truck driver in the truck's side mirror, what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

The truck driver cannot see you

Answer

If you cannot see the driver in the truck's mirror, you are in a blind spot and invisible to the driver.

Question 5

A pedestrian using a white cane or guide dog is crossing mid-block ahead of you. What must you do?

Accepted Answer

Stop and yield until the person is safely across

Answer

Blind pedestrians with a white cane or guide dog always have the right-of-way, and you must stop for them.
