#1. To check your blind spot when changing lanes to the left, you should glance:
Look over your shoulder in the direction you want to move. Be sure no one is near the left or right rear corners of your vehicle. These areas are blind spots. To see the blind spots, you have to turn your head and look.
#2. Proof of insurance is needed:
You must maintain liability insurance and carry proof of insurance whenever you drive.
#3. If your car starts to skid, you should:
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.
#4. A sign with this shape means:
Four-sided diamond-shaped signs warn you of existing or possible hazards on roadways or adjacent areas.
#5. Any time you turn on your wipers due to bad weather, you should also:
Remember to turn on your headlights whenever you have trouble seeing others. If you have trouble seeing them, they may be having trouble seeing you. On rainy, snowy, or foggy days, it is sometimes hard for other drivers to see your vehicle. In these conditions, headlights make your vehicle easier to see. Remember, if you turn on your wipers due to bad weather, you should also turn on your headlights.
#6. You are in the right-hand lane and approach this sign. What should you do?
Reduction of lanes. Right lane ends. Merge left.
Two lanes of traffic will soon become one lane of traffic. Right-lane traffic must yield when merging.
#7. An important reminder for safe night driving is to:
Never drive so fast that you cannot stop within the distance you can see ahead with your headlights. Your lights will only let you see clearly about 250 feet. If you then drive faster than 55 mph on a dark road, you are really driving blind because you won’t be able to stop within the 250 feet ahead of you that is lit well enough to see.
#8. This hand signal means:
Left turn – left arm extended horizontally out of an open window .
#9. What is the first thing you must do if you damage an unattended vehicle or other property?
If you damage an unattended vehicle or other property and you cannot locate the owner, leave the following information on a piece of paper where the owner can find it:
- your name, address, and telephone number.
- driver’s license number.
- license plate number.
- date and time of crash.
- damage to the vehicle.
Then you must also contact the nearest law enforcement agency.
#10. Why is it important to know what kind of braking system your vehicle has?
How brakes can best be used depends on whether a vehicle has anti-lock brakes (ABS) or conventional brakes. Knowing how to correctly apply your brakes in an emergency situation may save your life.
#11. You have car A on your right and car C on your left at this uncontrolled intersection. You must yield to:
Car A goes first.
Car B must yield to car A.
Car C must yield to both car A and B.
#12. When you drive through a construction zone, you should:
Slow down, stay patient, maintain a safe following distance, and stay alert while driving through work zones. Extra care should be maintained through construction work zones even though there is no apparent work activity in the immediate vicinity.
#13. How does alcohol affect you?
Alcohol slows your reflexes and reaction time, reduces your ability to see clearly, and makes you less alert. As the amount of alcohol in your body increases, your judgment worsens and your skill decreases.
The ability to make good decisions is seriously affected when it is based on faulty senses, faulty judgments, and poor predictions. Couple this with the false sense of confidence and lack of good judgment that alcohol provides, and you can see how very likely it is that the impaired driver will make bad decisions in critical driving situations.
#14. Which light indicates that you must always come to a complete stop at an intersection?
At a steady red signal, you must stop behind the crosswalks or stop line. You can turn right unless there is a sign that prohibits the turn. You may turn right only after stopping and yielding to persons and other vehicles. You may also, after stopping and yielding, turn left from a one-way street onto a one-way street.
#15. You may leave the pavement to pass another vehicle on the right:
It is not legal to leave the pavement to pass on the right.
#16. If you are driving on a multi-lane road and see a disabled vehicle parked on the shoulder, you should move to the left lane because:
If you are driving and see a disabled vehicle parked on the shoulder, move to the left lane if possible. The driver might not have seen you, and may open the door or pull onto the road.
#17. If there is a double solid yellow line in the center of a roadway, crossing the solid yellow line is:
Solid yellow lines indicate no passing or lane changing – unless making a left turn into or from an alley, private road, or driveway.
#18. In general, parking is legal:
You must not park in front of a driveway or on a bridge. Parking on a hill is allowed if you are far enough from any travel lane to avoid interfering with traffic and visible to vehicles approaching from either direction.
#19. Tractor-trailers and large trucks:
A tractor-trailer rig takes considerably more time and distance to stop than a passenger vehicle traveling at the same speed. A passenger vehicle traveling 55 mph can typically stop in about half the length of a football field (about 130-140 feet). A heavy vehicle with a loaded trailer will usually take over two-thirds the length of a football field (about 190-200 feet) to stop.
In heavy traffic, when a truck’s brakes may be hot, the stopping distance may double to 1.5 times the length of a football field (400 feet).
#20. If you see a deer crossing the road, you should:
Deer usually travel in groups and it is likely that there is another one following closely behind. When you see an animal on or near the roadway, reduce your speed and tap your brakes, to warn other drivers, and sound your horn. Be careful about flashing your headlights because one unintended effect may be to freeze the deer or other animal on the road directly ahead.
#21. At a railroad crossing, you must give trains the right-of-way:
Railroad cross buck signs will be found at all public crossings. If there is more than one track, a sign below the cross buck indicates the number of tracks. Be prepared to stop at the tracks if a train is coming.
A cross buck sign has the same meaning as a yield sign. You must yield to crossing trains. Never try to beat a train across the tracks.
#22. A temporary removal of a person's privilege to drive is the same as:
A suspension is the temporary removal of a person’s privilege to drive. The license may be returned after a specified period of time, and/or after certain requirements have been met.
#23. When driving past this sign:
You get on the Interstate by using an entrance ramp, but be alert for Do Not Enter and Wrong Way signs that might indicate that you are about to begin going the wrong way on an exit ramp instead. The Wrong Way sign supplements the Do Not Enter sign. It is placed along the exit ramp or the one-way roadway farther from the crossroad. It tells you that you have already entered a one-way road and are driving in the wrong direction.
If you find yourself going the wrong way on a ramp, you should pull onto the shoulder, stop, and only turn around when there is no oncoming traffic.
#24. Non-use or misuse of child restraints are:
Non-use or misuse are reasonable suspicion for stopping a vehicle to investigate a suspected violation. It is the driver’s responsibility to see that the law is obeyed.
#25. This sign means:
A stop sign means you must come to a complete stop. Give the right-of-way to pedestrians and to all cross traffic before moving again.

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.
