Wyoming Permit Practice Test 3

Correct answer: About the same amount of alcohol (roughly half an ounce)

Twelve ounces of beer, three to five ounces of wine, and one and one-half ounces of 86-proof hard liquor each contain about one-half ounce of alcohol — so a "drink" is a drink.

Correct answer: Corrective lenses must be worn while driving

Restriction code B means corrective lenses. Restriction codes require that a license holder operate a vehicle only under certain circumstances — for example, code G is daylight driving only, and code A is automatic transmission.

Correct answer: Your vehicle displays a disabled parking placard or disabled license plates

It is illegal to park in a space designated for the disabled unless your vehicle displays a disabled parking placard or bears disabled license plates.

Correct answer: Leave a note with your name, address, phone, and other details, then contact the nearest law enforcement agency

If you damage an unattended vehicle or property and cannot locate the owner, leave a note with your name, address, phone number, license number, plate number, date, time, and damage — then contact the nearest law enforcement agency.

Correct answer: Check for cross traffic and yield to vehicles close enough to be dangerous

At a yield sign, check for cross traffic before reaching the intersection and yield to traffic close enough to be dangerous. When turning onto a street or highway, look for a gap in traffic, merge, and adjust your speed.

Correct answer: 15 mph

Trees, bushes, or buildings can block your view at an intersection. Approach a blind intersection at no more than 15 mph so you can stop for cross traffic.

Correct answer: At least 3 feet

When passing a bicyclist, reduce your speed and, when space allows, maintain at least 3 feet of separation between your vehicle and the bicyclist.

Correct answer: Use caution — it warns of a dangerous intersection or location

A flashing amber light warns of a dangerous intersection or location. You must use caution as you proceed.

Correct answer: Ideal conditions — you must slow down when the road, weather, or traffic requires it

Posted speed limits apply unless otherwise indicated, and represent the maximum under ideal conditions. It is imperative that motorists drive according to road, traffic, and light conditions, which often means slowing down.

Correct answer: Hand and arm extended down from the elbow

To signal slowing down or stopping, the left hand and arm are extended down from the elbow. Straight up signals a right turn, and straight out signals a left turn.

Correct answer: The amount of alcohol, the time over which it was consumed, and the person’s body weight

Three factors influence BAC: the amount of alcohol consumed, the period of time over which it was consumed, and the person’s body weight.

Correct answer: 16 years of age

Persons under 16 years of age cannot get a Wyoming driver license. (A restricted license for extreme inconvenience is available to some applicants aged 14–15, and an instruction permit at 15, but a full license is not.)

Correct answer: Not legal — it blocks access to the driveway

You may not park in front of a public or private driveway. Even a short stop can block a resident from entering or leaving.

Correct answer: A privilege, not a right — abuse it and you may lose it

Driving in Wyoming, as in all states, is a privilege, not a right. Abuse the privilege, and you may lose it through suspension, cancellation, or revocation.

Correct answer: Check in front, then to the left, then to the right, then both directions again

Check in front of you, then check to the left since you will meet vehicles coming from the left first, then check to the right, and then make another check in both directions. Do not depend on signs or signals for a safe path.

Correct answer: It is invisible and treacherous

Black ice is invisible and treacherous. Always watch for sudden changes in road surface, from merely wet to extremely icy, and drive slowly in full control.

Correct answer: Slow to the cyclist’s speed and follow until you have room to pass

If you do not have adequate space to pass a bicyclist, slow to the speed of the cyclist and follow until you have the room needed to pass.

Correct answer: You may turn in the direction of the arrow without stopping if the way is clear

A green arrow means you may turn in the direction shown without stopping if the way is clear. You must still yield to persons and other traffic already within the intersection.

Correct answer: Before entering the curve

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

Correct answer: Well before the turn

Proper turning rules: plan ahead, be in the proper lane well before the turn, signal the direction you plan to turn, slow and check for persons and vehicles in your turning path, and turn into the proper lane.
