1. A driver stopped on suspicion of impaired driving refuses to take a chemical test. What happens?
Show answer
Answer D: A license penalty follows for the refusal itself
Under implied consent, holding a license means agreeing to testing, so a refusal brings its own suspension separately from anything the court decides.
-
2. What is the highest speed limit posted on Wyoming interstate highways?
Show answer
Answer C: 80 mph
Wyoming posts interstate limits of 75 mph and, on approved segments, 80 mph, which puts it among the fastest states in the country.
-
3. Smoke and flames appear from the engine compartment after you stop. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer A: Get everyone well away from the vehicle first, and then call the fire service
A vehicle fire can spread within seconds, so people come out first and firefighting is left to the fire service.
-
4. Why are eating, drinking and personal grooming risky behind the wheel?
Show answer
Answer B: They occupy hands, eyes and attention that driving requires
Each of these tasks takes a hand off the controls and attention off the road, and a spill or a dropped item can pull the driver's eyes away entirely.
-
5. A pedestrian using a white cane or walking with a guide dog starts to cross the street ahead of you. What must you do?
Show answer
Answer A: Yield and stay stopped until the person has finished crossing
A white cane or guide dog identifies a pedestrian who may not be able to see your vehicle, so you must yield and wait rather than maneuver around the person. The horn can confuse the pedestrian or the dog.
-
6. How does Wyoming enforce a school bus stop-arm violation caught on the bus's video system when the driver's identity is unknown?
Show answer
Answer A: The registered owner of the vehicle is fined 195 dollars, subject to specific defenses
Wyoming statute lets a school district fine the registered owner of a vehicle 195 dollars based on a school bus video recording when the driver cannot be identified, subject to defenses such as lack of consent to the vehicle's use.
-
7. For a second Wyoming DWUI conviction, does the one-year ignition interlock requirement depend on the driver's measured blood alcohol content, the way the first offense does?
Show answer
Answer D: No, a second conviction always requires one year of interlock use, whatever the alcohol level was
Unlike a first offense, Wyoming statute imposes the one-year interlock requirement on every second DWUI conviction without regard to the measured alcohol concentration.
-
8. Why is parking next to a fire hydrant or in a marked fire lane prohibited?
Show answer
Answer D: It would delay firefighters who need immediate access to the hydrant or the building
Fire hydrants and fire lanes must remain clear at all times so emergency crews can connect hoses and reach a building without delay.
-
9. On a Wyoming road posted at 80 mph, at what speed does a non-commercial speeding conviction go on the driving record and count toward suspension?
Show answer
Answer A: 86 mph or more
Wyoming does not record speeds of 81 to 85 mph where 80 mph is posted; the conviction reaches the driving record only at 86 mph or more.
-
10. What is the maximum fine for texting while driving under Wyoming's handheld electronic wireless communication device statute?
Show answer
Answer C: 75 dollars
Wyoming statute classifies texting while driving as a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than 75 dollars.
-
11. A rear tire blows out on the highway. How does the vehicle usually behave?
Show answer
Answer C: The back end weaves or fishtails from side to side
A rear failure shows up as the tail wandering rather than a pull on the steering, so hold the wheel straight and let the speed drop gradually.
-
12. You want to turn left across the oncoming lane into a shopping center driveway. Who must you yield to?
Show answer
Answer B: Oncoming traffic and anyone using the sidewalk
A left turn into a driveway crosses both the oncoming lane and the sidewalk, so you give way to traffic and to pedestrians before completing it.
-
13. What alcohol concentration triggers a Youthful Driver Suspension in Wyoming for a person under 21?
Show answer

-
15. How does Wyoming statute define voice-operated or hands-free technology for purposes of the texting exception?
Show answer
Answer D: Technology letting a user write, send, or read a text-based message without using either hand, except to activate or deactivate a feature
Wyoming statute defines voice-operated or hands-free technology as technology allowing a user to write, send, or read a text-based communication without using either hand, apart from a single touch to activate, deactivate, or initiate a feature.
-

-
17. Your phone is in a mount on the dashboard rather than in your hand. What is true?
Show answer
Answer B: It still takes your eyes and mind off the road
A mount solves the hand problem but not the eye or the mind problem, and reading or tapping a mounted screen costs the same seconds of attention.
-
18. What should you expect while driving through a parking lot?
Show answer
Answer D: Pedestrians and vehicles moving from any direction, so drive slowly
Parking lots mix walking people, reversing vehicles and poor sight lines, so low speed and constant scanning are the only reliable protection.
-
19. The light ahead is green but traffic beyond the intersection is backed up. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer B: Wait behind the intersection until there is room to clear it completely
You may not enter an intersection unless you can get completely through it, because stopping inside blocks cross traffic when the signal changes.
-
20. When does Wyoming law require headlights to be used?
Show answer
Answer C: From one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise, and whenever people and vehicles are not clearly visible 1,000 feet ahead
Wyoming ties headlight use to a window that begins one-half hour after sunset and ends one-half hour before sunrise, plus any time insufficient light or weather makes people and vehicles unclear at 1,000 feet.
-
21. On a Wyoming highway with two or more lanes running the same direction, what does the Move Over Law require near a stopped emergency, utility or maintenance vehicle showing lights?
Show answer
Answer D: Merge into the lane farthest from that vehicle, or at least one lane of traffic apart
When a spare lane is available Wyoming requires the driver to merge into the lane farthest from the stopped vehicle, or at least one lane of traffic away from it, unless a police officer directs otherwise.
-
22. Under Wyoming statute, what is the maximum fine for a first conviction of a traffic misdemeanor for which no specific penalty has otherwise been set?
Show answer
Answer A: 200 dollars
Wyoming statute sets 200 dollars as the maximum fine for a first conviction of a traffic misdemeanor that has no penalty of its own, with higher amounts for repeat convictions within a year.
-
23. At a stop sign with a painted stop line and a crosswalk, where must you stop?
Show answer
Answer D: At the stop line, before it and before the crosswalk
You stop at the stop line first, and only if there is no stop line do you stop before the crosswalk, and only if there is neither do you stop before entering the intersection.
-
24. When is it appropriate to use cruise control?
Show answer
Answer B: On a dry, open highway with light traffic
Cruise control suits steady conditions where you rarely need to change speed. It is a poor choice in traffic, on curves, on slippery roads or when drowsy, because it removes you from the speed decision.
-
25. A vehicle is sitting in your blind spot and you need to change into that lane. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer B: Adjust your speed to open a clear gap, then check again and move over
Changing your speed either drops the other vehicle behind you or lets it move ahead, which turns the blind spot back into open space.
