Wyoming DMV Cheat Sheet

Correct answer: An ignition-interlock requirement before you can get any other license

If your BAC at arrest was 0.15 percent or greater, you must hold an ignition-interlock restricted driver license for a period (six months for a first offense) before you are eligible for any other type of license.

Correct answer: Yes — you may be convicted at 0.05 percent with other supporting evidence

While a BAC of 0.08 percent or more may result in a conviction, you may also be convicted of DWUI with a BAC of 0.05 percent when there is other supporting evidence of impairment.

Correct answer: Shares driving convictions among member states under a "one license, one record" concept

Wyoming is a member of the Driver License Compact, which promotes cooperation among states and a one-license, one-record concept. Convictions in one member state follow you home.

Correct answer: Leaving the scene of an injury crash, homicide by vehicle, or a third DWUI

Offenses that cause a revocation include a third or subsequent DWUI or reckless driving, leaving the scene of an injury accident, homicide by vehicle, and a felony resulting from the manner of driving.

Correct answer: Six months, with longer periods for repeat offenses

An ignition-interlock device is required for six months after a first DWUI with a BAC of 0.15 percent or greater, one year for a second, two years for a third, and for life for a fourth or subsequent offense involving alcohol.

Correct answer: In front of an active airbag

A child in a rear-facing infant seat shall not be placed in front of an active airbag. A deploying airbag can seriously injure a rear-facing infant.

Correct answer: By presenting a certification card showing completion of an approved driver education course

The skills test may be waived by presenting a certification card proving completion of an approved driver education class (30 hours of classroom instruction and six hours behind the wheel). The card is honored for no longer than two years.

Correct answer: 50 hours of behind-the-wheel driving, including 10 hours at night

An applicant at 16 who has held an instruction permit must complete 50 hours of behind-the-wheel driving, including 10 hours of nighttime driving, as certified by a parent or legal guardian (or have held a Restricted Class C license).

Correct answer: Hold a six-month-old intermediate license, keep a clean record, and complete an approved driver education course

At 16½, an applicant may receive full privileges if they hold a current intermediate license at least six months old that has not been suspended, and have completed an approved driver education course (including behind-the-wheel driving).

Correct answer: Toward the edge of the road (to the right)

With no curb to stop the car, turn your wheels toward the edge of the road. If the car rolls, it heads off the roadway instead of into traffic.

Correct answer: On a hill or curve where your car cannot be easily seen

Do not stop on a hill or curve where your car cannot be easily seen. Approaching drivers may not spot you in time to slow down.

Correct answer: Pull up even with the car ahead of the space, then back in

To parallel park, pull ahead alongside the car in front of the space, then back the rear of your car in, straighten, and pull close to the curb.

Correct answer: Continue to your exit, leave the roundabout, then pull over to the right

If you are already in a roundabout when an emergency vehicle approaches, continue to your exit, leave the roundabout, and then pull over to the right so the emergency vehicle can pass. If you have not yet entered, pull over and let it pass.

Correct answer: Only vehicles on the same side of the separation as the bus

On a two- or four-lane undivided highway, vehicles going each direction must stop for a stopped school bus. However, on a divided roadway, only vehicles on the same side of the separation as the bus must stop.

Correct answer: Only if a physical barrier or separate roadways divide you from the bus, and using extreme caution

You may pass a school bus with activated flashing red lights only if there is a physical barrier or separate roadways between your vehicle and the bus. You must use extreme caution and watch for pedestrians.

Correct answer: After coming to a complete stop

A driver must yield to pedestrians when making a lawful turn on a red light, after coming to a complete stop first.

Correct answer: Stay in line and wait for a snowplow to clear the way

Be patient when driving on ice or snow. If the vehicle in front of you spins out on an icy hill, stay in line and wait for a snowplow to clear the way — you’ll get through much quicker.

Correct answer: Triple it on snow (about six seconds) and quadruple it on ice (about eight seconds)

Increase your following distance by tripling the seconds on snow (about six seconds for a car) and quadrupling them on ice (about eight seconds).

Correct answer: Use cruise control, and you should never lock your brakes

On snow or ice, do not use cruise control and never lock your brakes — you have no steering control unless the wheels are turning. Slow gradually and smoothly before stopping or turning.

Correct answer: The beginning of a no-passing zone

Pennant-shaped signs are located at the beginning of a no-passing zone.

Correct answer: A railroad crossing ahead

A round sign warns of a railroad crossing ahead. A stop line or an "X" with the letters "RR" painted on the pavement may also warn of an upcoming crossing.

Correct answer: Cannot pass, except to make a left turn into or from an alley, private road, or driveway

Solid yellow lines indicate no passing or lane changing, unless you are making a left turn into or from an alley, private road, or driveway. A double yellow line also means you cannot pass.

Correct answer: Passing or lane changing is hazardous

Solid white lines indicate that passing or lane changing is hazardous. White lines separate traffic traveling in the same direction.

Correct answer: When you can see both of the truck’s headlights and its entire cab in your rearview mirror

Because it takes longer to pass a large vehicle, be sure you can see both headlights and the entire cab of the truck in your rearview mirror before pulling back into your lane.

Correct answer: Brake as quickly as you safely can and keep control on the road — do not swerve suddenly

If a collision seems inevitable, do not swerve suddenly to avoid the animal — your risk of injury may be greater. Brake as quickly as you safely can while keeping your vehicle under control and on the road.
