#1. When your car starts to skid, you should look:
If you start to skid, you should take your foot off the accelerator to slow. Look and steer where you want to go (in the direction of the skid). Stay off the brake. Until the vehicle slows, your brakes will not work.
#2. You see this sign on a vehicle ahead. What should you do?
When you see this symbol on the back of a vehicle ahead, it is a warning to slow down. It means the vehicle cannot travel faster than 25 miles per hour.
Don’t be impatient if you find yourself behind one of these slow vehicles. They have the legal right to be there.
#3. When a traffic signal is showing a steady yellow light:
If possible, you must stop before entering the intersection. If you cannot stop safely, you should carefully go through the intersection.
#4. Drivers entering a roundabout:
Slow down as you approach a roundabout and yield to pedestrians and traffic already in the roundabout.
Traffic in the roundabout must be given the right-of-way.
#5. An unbroken yellow line on the right-hand side of the centerline means:
Solid yellow lines indicate no passing or lane changing – unless making a left turn into or from an alley, private road, or driveway.
#6. If you rear-ended the car in front of you, you were probably:
Rear-end collisions caused by following too close are a very common type of crash. One of the easiest ways to tell if you have a large enough space cushion ahead is to use the two-second following distance rule.
#7. What is best to do if you have poor night vision?
Poor night vision is a major problem. Drivers can compensate by driving at slower speeds. Driving at speeds 10 to15 mph slower than other traffic can be extremely hazardous, however. These persons should limit their driving to slower speeds on well-lighted streets or to daytime driving only.
#8. Which of the following is correct?
Use the low beams in fog or when it is snowing or raining hard. Light from high beams will reflect back, causing glare and making it more difficult to see ahead.
#9. A driver holding an instruction permit may drive alone:
When operating a motor vehicle, the driver must be accompanied by a person 18 or older, who possesses a valid driver’s license for the type of vehicle being driven. This person must occupy the front passenger seat, for purposes of instruction, while the vehicle is driven.
#10. A white cloth tied to a radio antenna or a door handle indicates:
If your vehicle does not work properly and you must stop, you should stop with all four wheels on the shoulder. Turn on your emergency four-way flashers. Get out of the side of the vehicle away from the traffic. To indicate vehicle problems, tie a white cloth to an antenna or door handle and raise your hood or trunk lid. Do not walk for help if you are on the interstate.
#11. This sign tells you that:
This is a regulatory No Right Turn sign. It means that you are not allowed to turn right at the intersection.
#12. If you injure a wild animal on the road, you should:
If a crash occurs, report it to local law enforcement, particularly if the carcass of the struck animal is still on the highway and thus a danger to other vehicles. Do not try to move an injured animal or leave an injured animal to die.
#13. During a rainfall when are road pavements usually most hazardous?
Be careful during the first half hour after the rain begins. Dust and oil mix with the water and make the roadway slippery. The road is more slippery until this mixture is washed off.
#14. The step-by-step process behind the principles of defensive driving is generally known as:
IPDE is a step-by-step process behind the principles of defensive driving. IPDE stands for:
- I – Identify potential hazards.
- P – Predict what could happen (always predict the worst).
- D – Decide on a course of action.
- E – Execute your decision.
#15. If you are involved in an accident with injuries, 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 the police information on the crash at the time of the crash.
#16. When crossing railroad tracks in heavy traffic, you:
Do not get trapped on a highway-rail intersection. NEVER drive onto a highway-rail intersection until you are sure you can clear the tracks on the other side without stopping.
#17. When are you allowed to cross the median of an interstate highway?
Do not cross the median of an Interstate highway. You must use an established opening, a cross-over or intersection.
#18. Which is true about carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and poisonous gas. Signs of carbon monoxide poisoning are weariness, yawning, dizziness, nausea, headache, and ringing in the ears. If you feel any of these symptoms, stop your engine and open the windows to get fresh air.
Have the exhaust system checked regularly to be sure it does not leak. Avoid parking for long periods of time with the engine running. Do not start your vehicle, or warm up the engine, in a closed garage.
#19. You should always look carefully for motorcycles in traffic because:
Motorcycles are not easily identified in traffic. Even when seen it’s difficult for some drivers to judge how far away the cyclists are or how fast they are traveling. Be aware of this problem.
#20. Which is one factor that significantly affects your stopping distance?
The process of stopping your car has three main components: perception, reaction, and braking. You must look ahead to identify dangers, predict what could happen, and decide what to do. This takes at least one second. You must then execute your decision. It takes about 3/4 second to move your foot from the accelerator to the brake. The distance it takes to stop after the brake is applied depends upon your initial speed, your brakes, tires, road surface and weather conditions.
#21. Unless posted otherwise, what is the speed limit in residential areas in Wyoming?
Unless posted otherwise, the speed limit in residential areas and business areas is 30 mph.
#22. Drinking alcohol, even a little:
If you drink alcohol, even a little, your chances of being in a crash are much greater than if you did not drink any alcohol.
Even some people are able to compensate and cover up their drunkenness, they still increase their chances of being in a crash, if they drive with a BAC of 0.02 percent or higher. As a person’s BAC rises, their ability to judge and make accurate decisions in traffic become more and more impaired, regardless of whether they appear to be impaired.
#23. When parking close to a fire hydrant, you must keep what distance?
Parking is not allowed within 15 feet of a fire hydrant.
#24. Which road signs have a five-sided shape?
The pentagon (five-sided) shape warns you of school zones and marks school crossings.
#25. This warning sign means:
Two-way traffic. One-way traffic ends and reminder of oncoming traffic.

Get the Wyoming Driver’s License Manual

Taking Practice Tests
The passing score in Wyoming is only 76 percent, which means you must answer at least 19 of 25 questions correctly.
You should, however, aim higher on the practice tests. Try to reach a 100% score on a handful of tests.
Instead of memorizing questions and answers, it is best to fully understand why one answer is correct, and another isn’t. It will make it easier to pass the exam. You will also retain the knowledge longer.
Who Must Take the Wyoming Knowledge Test?
When you apply for your first driver’s license, you must pass a written knowledge test.
You must also pass the knowledge test again if you let your license expire and have not driven for two years or more.
DMV can also ask you to retake all tests after a license revocation.
Based upon personal observation, medical or vision information, and other factors, a DMV representative always has the discretion to ask for a knowledge test.
Official Wyoming Knowledge Test
The knowledge test has questions related to the class of license you are applying for. You can find all answers to the exam questions in the applicable driver’s manual.
On the test, you must identify traffic signs by shape, color, or symbol and identify signals and pavement markings. The test also has questions about seat belt usage, traffic laws, safety rules, crash prevention, and vehicle equipment.
You take your test on a computerized system. Applicants with reading difficulties can ask for a headset and hear the questions through a phone system. If you prefer to use the audio system, you must ask the examiner to connect you to the system before you begin your written test.
If you fail your first attempt, again the same day. You can take the test twice daily.
This does not apply if you miss 13 or more questions. In such a case, you must wait at least three days to retake the test.

Wyoming tests are only in English. You may use an interpreter for the written tests if you cannot speak English.
