Why: Alaska specifically allows 14- or 15-year-olds to obtain an M2 license for motor scooters with an engine displacement under 50cc.
5. How long must an Alaska driver wait to get a new permit after their earlier license for that class expired?
Why: An Alaska applicant who previously held a license for a given class may only obtain another permit for that class after five years have passed since that earlier license's expiration.
6. What's the mandatory minimum jail sentence for driving in Alaska while a license is suspended or revoked?
