1. Besides a chemical test, what else supports an impaired driving charge?
Show answer
Answer B: The officer's observations of the driving and the driver
Weaving, slow responses, speech and balance observed by the officer are evidence in their own right, which is why a driver can be charged on behavior alone.
-

Show answer
Answer B: Release the clutch and rock the motorcycle to see whether it rolls freely

A yield line of triangles shows drivers exactly where to give way, and it is used at roundabouts and at midblock crosswalks.
-
8. Why is it risky to brake hard and steer sharply at the same moment?
Show answer
Answer C: The tires have a limited amount of grip that braking and turning must share

-
9. A black on white regulatory sign at an intersection reads NO TURNS. What may a driver do there?
Show answer

The NO TURNS sign bans turns in every direction at that intersection, so the only lawful movement from that approach is straight through.
-
10. What does the implied consent law mean for drivers?
Show answer
Answer D: By driving, you have agreed to a chemical test if lawfully arrested for impaired driving
Holding a license and driving on public roads is treated as consent to breath, blood or urine testing when an officer has grounds to arrest you. Refusing normally brings its own license penalties.
-
11. 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.
-
12. What follows a Wyoming DWUI arrest when the chemical test shows an alcohol concentration of 0.08 percent or more?
Show answer
Answer B: An Administrative Per Se suspension of 90 days that stands even if the DWUI charge is later dismissed in court

-

-
14. You must stop for a train at a highway-rail crossing. Where should you stop?
Show answer
Answer B: Behind the stop line, gate or signal and well clear of the nearest rail
Stop behind the stop line, gate or flashing-light signal and well clear of the nearest rail, because a train overhangs its track by several feet on each side.
-
15. What minimum liability insurance must a driver carry on a Wyoming roadway maintained for public use?
Show answer

-
18. Why is passing another vehicle a bad idea in dense fog?
Show answer
Answer C: You cannot see far enough ahead to know the passing lane is clear
A pass needs a clear view of the road well beyond the vehicle you are overtaking, and fog takes exactly that away.

-
21. Your vehicle is burning at the roadside. How far away should everyone keep?
Show answer

-
22. Apart from other vehicles, who else must a driver let go first at this sign?

-

Show answer
Answer C: Use the acceleration lane to reach the speed of traffic, then merge into a gap while yielding to traffic already on the freeway
The acceleration lane exists so you can match the speed of freeway traffic before merging, and drivers already on the freeway have the right-of-way.
-
