DMV Alaska Written Test #2

Question 1

WHEN ROADS ARE SLIPPERY, YOU SHOULD:

Accepted Answer

Avoid making fast turns and fast stops

Answer

Slow down at the first sign of rain, especially after a dry spell. This is when many roads are the most slippery, because oil and dust have not washed away. A slippery road will not give your tires the grip they need. Drive more slowly than you would on a dry road.

Question 2

WORN OR BALD TIRES:

Accepted Answer

All of the above

Answer

The vehicle cannot have bald tires, which would have less than 1/32 inch tread depth in any two adjacent grooves. Tires that are too worn will cause the vehicle to hydroplane at lower speed, increase the stopping distance and have an increased chance of failure. Make sure to check your tires wear and alignment regularly and replace them as needed.

Question 3

IF YOU SEE ORANGE CONSTRUCTION SIGNS AND CONES ON A FREEWAY, YOU MUST:

Accepted Answer

Be prepared for workers and equipment ahead

Answer

Orange construction signs tell you that you are approaching a work zone on the freeway. The road may narrow, there may be a flagger controlling traffic, workers and machinery may be on or near the freeway. Be prepared to meet all these challenges and do not speed. Keep ample distance between yourself and the vehicle in front of you to avoid a rear-end collision.

Question 4

Uncontrolled junctions are defined as which of the following?

Accepted Answer

Stop signs, yield signs, and traffic lights are not present at these intersections.

Answer

Intersections that are not protected by stop signs, yield signs, or traffic lights are known as uncontrolled intersections. You must follow the right-of-way rules at uncontrolled crossroads to identify which vehicles have priority.

Question 5

If your vehicle is skidding, you should turn the front wheels

Accepted Answer

in the direction of the skid.

Answer

Don't panic if your rear wheels start to skid; don't brake just yet. Turn the steering wheel in the direction you want your vehicle to go instead. Steer left if your rear wheels are moving left; right if they are sliding right. It's possible that the back wheels will overshoot and begin to skid in the opposite direction. As soon as your vehicle begins to straighten out, move the steering wheel the other way to avoid this. This technique, known as "driving into the skid," will align the rear of your car with the front.
