Laws and Penalties
- 1/13DUI impound fines are charged when
In Alaska, if your vehicle is impounded due to a DUI offense, you are expected to pay a fine typically around $500. It is a financial reminder of the legal seriousness of impaired driving.
The purpose of insurance laws is to ensure that
Alaska’s financial responsibility laws exist to protect other drivers, not to punish you. These laws ensure that people injured or affected in crashes are not left with huge bills.
Injury liability coverage helps pay for
Alaska law requires you to carry minimum coverage of $50,000 for one person’s injury or death and $100,000 for two or more people. It is about being prepared for the worst.
Property damage coverage is required to cover
To legally drive in Alaska, you must have at least $25,000 in coverage for property damage, so you don’t foot the bill personally if you damage someone else’s car or property.
Proof after a crash must be provided to
In Alaska, if you’re involved in a crash resulting in injury, death, or property damage over $2,000, you must file a Crash Report and provide proof of liability insurance. Failing to do so can result in license suspension by the DMV. This requirement ensures drivers are held accountable and financially responsible for damages caused.
No insurance after a crash can lead to
Not showing valid insurance after a crash for even once can lead to a 90-day license suspension. It is a serious offense that affects your driving record.
Submission of insurance after a crash is for
In Alaska, every driver involved in a crash must submit proof of insurance, not just the one who caused it. The law requires shared responsibility for reporting.
Insurance must be shown at traffic stops when
If you are pulled over and can not show current insurance, your vehicle might be impounded on the spot. Officers are not required to give warnings.
The first step after a crash is to
Immediately stop after a crash, share contact and insurance info, and report damage. Leaving or delaying can result in legal consequences beyond citations.
Traffic stop without insurance can result in
Getting pulled over without proof of insurance may lead to vehicle impoundment and other penalties, even if you have insurance but just did not carry it.
Insurance deadlines after a crash must be met within
After a crash involving injury or $501+ in damage, you have 15 days to file proof of insurance with the DMV. Missing this deadline leads to suspension, no exceptions.
Ending suspension early is possible when
If your license was suspended for failing to pay crash damages, you can restore it early by reaching a financial settlement with the other party.
Repeated failure to submit insurance can lead to
Fail to submit proof of insurance a second time, and your license could be suspended for up to 1 year. Avoid long suspensions by always carrying proof.
