No miracle fixes. Sound, practical advice.

There are no traffic ticket “systems” for beating speeding tickets or fighting traffic tickets that work in every jurisdiction. There are inherent differences from state to state and even from county to county within the state. Local Alaska traffic ticket attorneys understand these differences and can offer worthwhile advice. There is no comparison between the practical advice you’ll receive from an actual practicing traffic ticket lawyer and a canned “one size fits all” kit that you may see advertised.

TicketHELP was created by lawyers.

TicketHELP understands the value of free consultations with local traffic ticket lawyers. TicketHELP was created by attorneys who have been educating and informing motorists in their own area for years. Now these same consultations are available to drivers all over the country.


Alaska Traffic Ticket Points

The following point assignments are applied to convictions for these violations whether they occur in Alaska or any other state:

Ten Points:

  • Driving on suspended or revoked license
  • Driving while intoxicated/under the influence
  • Reckless driving
  • Fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer
  • Speed contest/racing
  • Negligent homicide with a motor vehicle
  • Manslaughter with a motor vehicle
  • Assault with a motor vehicle

Nine Points:

  • Leaving the scene of an accident

Six Points:

  • Negligent driving
  • Failure to yield to authorized emergency vehicle
  • Failure to stop for school bus loading/unloading
  • Failure to obey traffic control devices in school zone, playgrounds or park
  • SPEEDING: Twenty mph or more over speed limit
  • SPEEDING: In a school zone or playground crosswalk

Four Points:

  • Following too close
  • Failure to stop or yield
  • SPEEDING: Ten to 19 mph over speed limit

Two Points:

As you accumulate points, the first action the Alaska DMV will take is issuing a warning letter. Next comes an interview with a driving examiner who may offer to reduce your point total if you successfully complete a defensive driving course.

Finally, an accumulation of 12 or more points in 12 months or 18 or more points in a 24-month period will result in the mandatory suspension or revocation of your driving privileges.


Alaska Suspended Driver License

An Alaska driver license can be suspended or revoked for a number of different reasons ranging from DUI issues to fraudulent use of your license to child support issues to traffic ticket point accumulation.

If your driver license in Alaska is currently suspended or you feel it is in danger of being suspended because of a pending issue, let us know. Your attorney may be able to help clear existing suspensions or prevent future suspensions.


Advice from the Alaska DMV*

According to the Alaska Drivers Manual, in case of a crash...

  1. Stop at once. If you are blocking traffic, move your vehicle out of the way if possible.
  2. To prevent other crashes, warn other traffic. At night place flares or other signals on the road. Be careful not to walk out in front of other vehicles.
  3. Help anyone who may be hurt. Do not remove an injured person unless absolutely necessary. Arrange for an ambulance if needed. Stop serious bleeding and keep the victim warm.
  4. Exchange information with anyone else involved in the crash. Obtain the name, address, driver’s license number, license plate number, telephone number, and name of insurance company of the other driver. Obtain the identity of as many witnesses as you can.
  5. If there is an injury, or total property damage is $2000 or more, and the crash occurred within a municipality, immediately contact the local police department. If the crash occurred outside of a municipality, immediately contact the Alaska State Troopers.
  6. Cooperate with the investigating officer.
  7. Mail a written report of the crash to the Department of Administration, Division of Motor Vehicles, P.O Box 110221, Juneau, Alaska 99811-0221 within 10 days. This report is not required if the crash was investigated by a peace officer.
  8. Upon striking an unattended vehicle, stop and attempt to locate the owner. If unable to do so leave a written note containing your name, address, and telephone number.
  9. A Certificate of Insurance is required on all crashes with property damage of $501.00 or more and must be submitted within 15 days. You may obtain this form at any DMV office or on our web site.
