PROVISIONAL LICENSING: AS 28.15.055 (1/1/99) & AS 28.15.057 (1/1/05)

These laws changed what is required to obtain and keep a driver’s license.

· You must have held a valid instruction permit for a minimum of six (6) months before obtaining your provisional driver license.
· While practicing with your valid instruction permit, the adult with you must have been licensed for 1 year and must be 21 years of age or older.
· If you receive traffic citations which total 6 or more points in a 12 month period or 9 or more points in a 24 month period, you must take a nationally certified defensive driving course. If you do not take a course, the DMV can suspend your privilege to drive.

Effective January 1st, 2005

If you obtain your first driver license after December 31st, 2004, and you are under the age of 18, the following applies to you:

· Your parent, legal guardian or employer must provide proof that you have had at least forty (40) hours of driving experience.  This must include at least ten (10) hours of driving in challenging circumstances such as inclement weather and nighttime driving.
· You must NOT have been convicted of a violation of a traffic law within the six months before you apply for your provisional driver license.

Once you obtain your provisional license, you must wait for at least six months in order to graduate to a regular driver license.  If you are convicted of violating a traffic law or of violating AS 04.16.050 (c) (repeat minor consuming alcohol) while holding a provisional driver license, you must wait an additional six months from the action before you would be eligible for a regular driver license. A new parental consent form (signed in front of a DMV representative or notary public) must be submitted in order to receive a regular license. Parental consent is required to graduate from a provisional license to a regular license.

Provisional License Restrictions (Minimum of six months - up to the age of 18)

· You may NOT carry passengers under the age of 21, except siblings.
· You may NOT operate a motor vehicle between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.

Exceptions:
· unless accompanied by a person who is at least 21 years of age that is licensed to drive the type or class of vehicle being driven.
· unless driving to or from your place of employment or within the scope of your employment.  All driving must be along the most direct route.

NOTE:  Once you reach the age of 18, these restrictions no longer apply to you.  You are not required to obtain a regular license at that time.  If you choose to obtain a regular license at that time, you would be subject to the vision test and replacement license fees.

Failure to follow Restrictions

A violation of the restrictions is an infraction with a $200.00 penalty.
