4. What does Wyoming statute require to prove reckless driving, as opposed to ordinary carelessness?
Show answer

Wyoming statute defines reckless driving as operating a vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property, a higher standard than ordinary negligence.
-
5. You are turning right onto a one-way street. Which lane of that street should you enter?
Show answer
Answer C: The lane closest to the right curb
Even though every lane on a one-way street runs your way, a right turn must end in the lane nearest the right curb; you may change lanes afterwards when it is safe.
-
6. You want to reverse direction but the street is too narrow for a U-turn. What is the alternative?
Show answer
Answer D: Make a three-point turn, or go around the block in heavy traffic
Where there is not enough width for a U-turn, the three-point turn does the job in stages, and on a busy street going around the block is safer still.
-
7. What is the purpose of carrying a first aid kit in your vehicle?
Show answer
Answer D: It lets you treat cuts and bleeding while the help is on its way
A kit is for simple first aid such as controlling bleeding until trained help arrives, not a substitute for calling for that help.
-

Show answer
Answer A: It narrows the qualifying options to tire chains or all-wheel drive with a mud-and-snow or all-weather rated tire
Wyoming's Level 2 chain law restriction narrows the qualifying options from Level 1, permitting only tire chains or all-wheel-drive vehicles equipped with a mud-and-snow or all-weather rated tire.
-
10. Under Wyoming law, may a vehicle owner knowingly allow someone who is not licensed for that type of vehicle to drive it?
Show answer

-
12. How should your speed behave while you move from one lane into the next?
Show answer
Answer C: Keep it steady or adjust it smoothly to match the traffic in the new lane
A lane change works best as a smooth movement at the speed of the lane you are joining, since sudden braking or acceleration surprises the drivers around you.
-
13. A police officer is directing traffic at an intersection and waves you through a red light. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer C: Follow the officer, whose directions come before signs and signals
Directions given by a police officer or an authorized flagger override signs, signals and pavement markings.
-
14. You have stopped on the shoulder of a highway and want to rejoin the traffic. What is the correct way?
Show answer
Answer D: Signal, build up speed along the shoulder, then merge into a gap
Entering a fast lane at a slow speed is what causes the conflict, so the shoulder is used to gain speed before the merge in the same way as an acceleration lane.
-
15. You see smoke coming from under the hood while driving. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer D: Signal, pull well off the road, shut off the engine and move everyone away from the vehicle
Stopping and shutting off the engine cuts the fuel supply to a possible fire, and distance protects you if it spreads. Raising the hood can feed the fire a rush of air.
-
16. What is Wyoming's separate child support reinstatement fee, charged in addition to the standard reinstatement fee in applicable cases?
Show answer
Answer D: 5 dollars
WYDOT's published fee schedule adds a 5 dollar child support reinstatement fee on top of the standard reinstatement charge in applicable cases.
-
17. What makes a left turn protected rather than permissive?
Show answer
Answer B: Oncoming traffic is held by a red signal while you have a green arrow
A protected turn is one where the conflicting movements are stopped by their own signal, which is what the green arrow indicates.
-
18. When should headlights be switched on besides during the hours of darkness?
Show answer
Answer C: Whenever rain, fog, snow or dust makes it harder to see or to be seen
Headlights are as much about being seen as about seeing, so they go on whenever visibility drops.
-
19. An orange sign reading END ROAD WORK is posted beside the highway. What does it mark?
Show answer
Answer C: The point where the work zone restrictions stop
The sign is installed at the downstream end of the temporary traffic control zone to tell drivers that normal conditions apply again.
-
20. This sign leads to a crossing that has no gates and no flashing lights. What does that mean for the driver?
Show answer
Answer D: Nothing will warn of an approaching train, so the driver must check the tracks personally
At a passive crossing there is no active device to announce a train, so the whole judgment rests on the driver, who must approach slowly enough to stop after looking along the track.
-
21. You feel drowsy, so you open a window and turn the radio up. What does that achieve?
Show answer
Answer B: Very little, because the drowsiness comes back
Cold air and loud music are not sleep, so the alerting effect lasts a minute or two and the driver is soon just as sleepy and closer to a lapse.
-
22. You are entering a marked school zone during the posted hours. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer A: Slow to the school zone limit and watch for children
The school zone limit applies throughout the posted hours, whether or not you can see any children at that moment.
-
23. What night restriction applies to a Wyoming intermediate license holder?
Show answer
Answer D: No driving between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. unless a completed exception form is carried
A Wyoming intermediate licensee may drive only between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m. unless an exception for work, school, a sports or religious activity or a medical need has been certified on the official form and is carried in the vehicle.
-
24. After a crash your door will not open and you need to get out of the car. What should you try?
Show answer
Answer B: Try another door of the vehicle, or a window that will still open properly
A jammed door is common after an impact, and the simplest escape is a different door or a window rather than forcing the damaged one.
-
25. Under Wyoming law, what licensing, insurance, and registration requirements apply to an electric bicycle?
Show answer
Answer C: None of Wyoming's financial responsibility, driver license, registration, or title requirements apply, since an electric bicycle is not a motor vehicle
Wyoming statute states that an electric bicycle is not a motor vehicle and is not subject to the title's provisions on financial responsibility, driver's licenses, registration, or certificates of title.
