An SR-22 financial responsibility certificate is not required after you get a reckless driving ticket however it will be if you are convicted of this major traffic violation then your Alaskan driver’s license is revoked.
The AK driver manual states that reckless driving is defined as a willful disregard for the safety of persons or property. Conviction of reckless driving in Alaska will result in a license suspension or revocation. You will need to check from the court listed on your citation or the AK Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) how long the revocation of your driver’s license will last.
I would suggest that you contact the AK DMV since credits may be earned for violation-free driving and/or completion of a driver improvement course. The AK DMV can provide you more information on what traffic school courses are approved and could be used to receive these credits.
