Questions

What is the penalty for leaving the scene of a crash resulting in injury or death?

Drivers in Wyoming convicted of leaving a crash scene resulting in serious injury will have their license revoked for 6 months up to a lifetime, receive a fine of not more than $5,000, and face imprisonment for up to 1 year.

What information should you exchange with other involved parties in a car accident?

Exchange your name, address, driver's license information, insurance information and phone number with anyone else involved in the crash. After exchanging information, write down as much information about the crash as possible. This includes weather conditions, road conditions, time of the crash, and how the crash occurred. This will help determine who is at fault and help with insurance claims. Crashes in Wyoming must be immediately reported in incidents of injury, fatality, or property damage exceeding $1,000.

What do flashing yellow or amber lights on a school bus mean?

Flashing amber lights are by law required on school buses in Wyoming and are used as a pre-warning to indicate that they are slowing down and preparing to stop. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop when they see these lights. The amber lights are generally activated 100-500 feet before the bus will stop depending on the speed limit.

Which passengers have to wear a seat belt?

In Wyoming, the driver and all passengers age 9 and older must wear a seat belt. Violation of the seat belt law is a secondary offense. In addition, the child passenger safety law also requires that all children wear an appropriate child restraint. What is appropriate depends on the size, height and weight of the child. For children ages 9-16, the appropriate restraint is a seat belt in most cases.

Are headsets or earplugs prohibited while driving?

In Wyoming, there is no prohibition on wearing headsets while driving. However, you should be very careful about covering your ears entirely as you will miss the visual queues otherwise present in the road environment.

How far away from a school bus loading or unloading passengers do vehicles have to stop?

In Wyoming, vehicles from both directions have to stop for school buses loading or unloading passengers. School buses use flashing red lights to indicate that the bus is stopped to load or unload school children. Do not proceed until the school bus has started driving again or the red lights have stopped flashing. A stop is not required when driving on a separate roadway or on the opposite side of a roadway divided by a physical barrier. However, motorists should still display caution as children may dart across the road.

Are you required to yield to pedestrians in crossing the road at a crosswalk?

Pedestrians in Wyoming have the right-of-way in a crosswalk area. Drivers must yield whether there are pavement markings or not. When approaching a crosswalk, use caution and watch both sides of the street for pedestrians.

When are studded tires permitted?

Studded tires have studs embedded in the tread that provide added traction. Studded tires may be used throughout the year in Wyoming, but chains should be used in snow emergencies.

Texting while driving is:

Texting while driving is prohibited for all drivers in Wyoming. This is because any such use will severely distract you and increase the risk of a crash. Regardless of age, drivers are recommended to pull off the road and stop if they need to make a call. Never use a phone when driving in hazardous conditions as you must focus all your attention on driving.

When should you begin slowing down when exiting the freeway?

When exiting a freeway or interstate, you may cause a rear-end collision if you begin slowing down too early as other drivers may not expect it. Wait until after entering the deceleration lane before slowing down.

It is generally more dangerous to drive _____ compared to _____ .

Your visibility will be reduced at night which makes it harder for you to spot hazards on the road ahead.

You see a sign with this shape and you know immediately that you’re approaching _____.

A pentagon-shaped sign tells you that you’re approaching a school zone and must watch out for children.

What does this sign warn of?

A crossbuck-shaped sign warns you of a railroad crossing.

What should you be aware of when driving behind a large truck traveling up a long or steep hill?

Trucks lose momentum when driving uphill. Slow down and increase the following distance.

What does this sign mean?

This is a YIELD sign. You must slow down and be prepared to yield the right-of-way.

What is the standard maximum speed limit in urban areas?

When giving CPR, you should pump hard and fast at the rate of ____.

When a casualty isn’t breathing, you may need to give CPR to maintain circulation.

Your view ahead is restricted by heavy spray when driving on the freeway. Which lights should you use?

Heavy spray is most likely to occur when driving at high-speeds as your tires will spin faster and throw up more water. In case of heavy spray, keep a safe distance to the car in front of you and use your low-beam headlights.

Do not use your high-beam headlights as you're likely to see less and blind other drivers. FYI: Rain lights are fiction...

When sick, your ability to drive may be impaired. As a consequence, always:

Being sick can negatively affect you in many ways, e.g. falling asleep at the wheel. Only drive if you're fit to do so.

You approach a curve at a fairly high speed. What should you do?
