Wyoming Permit Practice Test 2

Correct answer: No — those efforts are useless; only time can do the job

Showering, drinking coffee, or exercising in an effort to sober up are useless. Only time can eliminate alcohol from your body.

Correct answer: A valid driver license, instruction permit, intermediate license, or restricted license

To drive legally in Wyoming you must have a valid driver license, instruction permit, intermediate license, or restricted license. Wyoming licenses are issued by the WYDOT Driver Services Program.

Correct answer: Not legal

It is not legal to park on the roadway side of any stopped or parked vehicle. Doing so forces traffic to swing around you into oncoming lanes.

Correct answer: $1,000

You must contact the police if there is an injury, death, or property damage amounting to $1,000 or more. The law requires you to give police information about the crash at the time it happens.

Correct answer: The driver on the right — when in doubt, yield to the driver on your right

At a four-way stop, the driver who stops first should be permitted to go first. If in doubt, yield to the driver on your right. Never insist on the right of way at the risk of a crash.

Correct answer: 5 to 10 mph

A wet road reduces your tires’ grip, so reduce your speed by at least 5 to 10 mph and increase your following distance.

Correct answer: The same full lane width as any other vehicle — never share the lane alongside it

Motorcycles are entitled to the full lane width. Never move into the same lane alongside a motorcycle, even if it is riding to one side — it is illegal and boxes you both in.

Correct answer: Yield the right of way to vehicles and pedestrians already in the intersection

A green light means you may enter the intersection when the way is clear, but you must yield the right of way to other vehicles and persons already in the intersection.

Correct answer: 70 mph

Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit on secondary highways is 70 mph. Wyoming interstate highways are posted at 80 or 75 mph.

Correct answer: At least 100 feet from the intersection

All drivers must signal when turning or changing lanes, and at least 100 feet from an intersection. Signaling 4 to 5 seconds before you turn is better at higher speeds.

Correct answer: About one drink per hour, and it cannot go faster

Roughly 90 percent of the alcohol in your body is eliminated by the liver, at a constant rate of about one drink per hour. It cannot be eliminated any faster.

Correct answer: A person whose driving privileges are suspended, canceled, denied, or revoked in this or any other state

Wyoming will not license a person whose driving privileges are suspended, canceled, denied, or revoked in this or any other state. Applicants are checked through the Problem Driver Pointer System and other electronic systems for adverse actions.

Correct answer: You may not park there

Where the curb is painted yellow near intersections or driveways, parking is prohibited. The color marks a no-parking zone.

Correct answer: The names and addresses of witnesses and the other driver’s information

Get the names and addresses of all witnesses and persons involved, and record the other driver’s name, address, license number, insurance company, vehicle details, and license plate number.

Correct answer: The vehicle that stopped first

Common courtesy requires that the driver who stops first should be permitted to go first. If you enter an intersection while violating the speed law, you forfeit any right of way you might have had.

Correct answer: Before you enter the curve

Adjust your speed before entering a curve. Going too fast into a curve can break the grip your tires have on the road.

Correct answer: Leave plenty of room

A bicyclist might swerve to avoid a grate, debris, or an opening car door. When following or passing a bicyclist, leave plenty of room.

Correct answer: Come to a complete stop, then proceed when safe — it means the same as a STOP sign

A flashing red light has the same meaning as a STOP sign: you must come to a complete stop before entering the intersection and proceed only when it is safe.

Correct answer: 80 mph

Wyoming interstate highways are posted at up to 80 mph (some sections at 75 mph). Posted limits apply unless conditions require you to slow down.

Correct answer: Hand and arm extended straight up from the elbow

Hand signals are given with the left arm. For a right turn, the hand and arm are extended straight up from the elbow. A left turn is signaled with the arm straight out, and slowing or stopping with the arm down from the elbow.
