Please help reduce the cost of state government by returning the manual or passing it on to another future driver.  \nThe purpose of this manual is to provide the reader with a general familiarity with the principles of safe and lawful operation of a motorcycle.  \nThe contents of this manual are NOT intended to serve as a precise statement of the Statutes and Regulations of the State of Alaska pertaining to the operation of a motorcycle, and should not be understood by the reader as such.  \nREV. 5/12 Printed 5/12  \n[www.Alaska.gov/dmv/](www.Alaska.gov/dmv/)  \nPREFACE  \nOperating a motorcycle safely in traffic requires special skills and knowledge. This manual, with the cooperation of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, is made available to help novice motorcyclists reduce their risk of having a crash. The content of this manual was updated and expanded by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation from the original version. The original version was developed by the National Public Research Institute under contract to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration with the cooperation of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation.  \nAlaska requires the operator of any motorcycle with an engine displacement of 50cc or more to have a Class M1 license or endorsement to the regular license. The M1 license is valid for all sizes and is available only to individuals who are 16 years of age or older. Motorcycles and motor scooters with engine displacement of less than 50cc can be operated with a basic driver license. A Class M2 license allows an applicant whois 14 or 15 years of age to operate a motor-driven cycle, motor-scooter, motorized bicycles, or similar conveyance with a motor attached and having an engine with less than 50 cc displacement.  \nAn applicant for an M1 or M2 license may have the testing requirements waived by completing a Motorcycle Safety Foundation Course and presenting the completion certificate to DMV. The certificate is valid to waive the road test for one year. The MSF scooter test is not valid for waiving the road test.  \nIf you are under 18 years of age and obtaining your first driver or MI license, you must have held a permit for 6 months prior to obtaining your provisional license. Please refer to the basic driver manual for more information on provisional driver licenses.  \nAn applicant for an M1 or M2 license will be required to pass two written tests anda road skill test. The first test will deal with the basic rules of the road (this test is waived if the applicant has a valid license or instruction permit) . The second test is a motorcycle written test based on the information found in this manual.  \nAfter passing the written tests, applicants will be required to pass a road skills test. The applicant will be required to wear a helmet. All applicants must wear eye protection if there is not a windshield on the motorcycle used for the road skills test. Applicants must provide the motorcycle, helmet, and eye protection. The motorcycle used for testing must be appropriate for the class of license being sought. An M1 license requires that you use a motorcycle with an engine displacement of 50cc or more.  \nMandatory insurance and financial responsibility laws do apply to the operation of motorcycles of all types. Please refer to the basic driver manual for more information.  \nThe object of this manual is to prepare applicants for a motorcycle license to take the required tests, and to help reduce the number of motorcycle crashes. We hope you will use this manual as an aid in safe and enjoyable riding.  \nState of Alaska  \nDivision of Motor Vehicles  \nA Message from the Highway Safety Planning Agency  \nThe i","cbCaimLDjC3qQYWq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimLDjC3qQYWq","pdf",4121444,47,"English","# Preface\n## Licensing requirements and testing overview\n## Protective equipment and road-skills test requirements\n## Insurance and financial responsibility\n## Safety message and defensive driving guidance","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this Alaska Motorcycle Manual?\",\"answer\":\"It provides general familiarity with safe and lawful motorcycle operation and prepares applicants for required licensing tests while helping reduce motorcycle crashes.\"},{\"question\":\"What licenses does Alaska require for motorcycles with an engine displacement of 50cc or more?\",\"answer\":\"Alaska requires a Class M1 license or endorsement to the regular license for motorcycles with 50cc or more, valid for individuals aged 16 or older.\"},{\"question\":\"Can applicants waive testing requirements for an M1 or M2 license?\",\"answer\":\"Yes.
