Wyoming DMV Practice Test 2026

1. Speed up to get out of its way quickly
2. Stop immediately wherever you are, even in an intersection
3. Continue at the same speed and let it pass around you
4. Move to the right side and stop, unless told otherwise

Correct answer: Move to the right side and stop, unless told otherwise. You must yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle using a siren and flashing lights by pulling to the right edge of the road and stopping until it has passed.

1. OTC medicines never affect driving since they are not prescription drugs
2. Only allergy medicine taken in liquid form can affect driving
3. Many OTC cold and allergy medicines can cause drowsiness and impair driving ability
4. Cold medicine only affects driving ability at night

Correct answer: Many OTC cold and allergy medicines can cause drowsiness and impair driving ability. Common cold and allergy medications are a leading cause of unintentional drowsy driving because many people don't realize an OTC drug can impair them.

Source: California Driver Handbook, Alcohol and Drugs p.100 - 'Most drugs taken for colds, hay fever, allergy, or to calm nerves or muscles can make a person drowsy.'

1. generally not allowed, except in limited cases
2. always allowed if the right lane is open
3. required whenever the left lane is occupied
4. only restricted for large trucks and buses

Correct answer: generally not allowed, except in limited cases. Passing on the right is riskier because other drivers don't expect it; most states allow it only in specific situations, such as passing a vehicle turning left.

1. Vehicles in both directions, no exception
2. Only vehicles going faster than the bus
3. Only vehicles within 500 feet
4. Only vehicles on the same side as the bus

Correct answer: Only vehicles on the same side as the bus. On a divided roadway, traffic on the bus's own side of that dividing median is the only traffic required to halt.

1. 1 second
2. 2 seconds
3. 6 seconds
4. 5 seconds

Correct answer: 2 seconds. In Wyoming, the handbook recommends counting at least 2 seconds between when the vehicle ahead passes a fixed point and when you reach the same point.

1. Stop completely, just as you would at a stop sign
2. Speed up, since flashing yellow means the light is broken and can be ignored
3. Slow down and proceed carefully; no full stop is required
4. Wait for it to turn solid green before proceeding

Correct answer: Slow down and proceed carefully; no full stop is required. A flashing yellow signal only requires drivers to slow down and proceed with caution; unlike a flashing red, it does not require a complete stop.

1. Nothing at all happens automatically the very first time it occurs
2. It counts as a violation of the license's restrictions
3. Only a fine applies, no other consequence
4. It is treated as a parking violation

Correct answer: It counts as a violation of the license's restrictions. Breaking either passenger rule counts as a violation of the intermediate license's restrictions.

1. 5 a.m. to 8 p.m.
2. 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
3. 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
4. All hours, day and night

Correct answer: 5 a.m. to 8 p.m.. This restricted license is only valid between 5 a.m. and 8 p.m.

1. There is a steep hill or grade ahead
2. There is an escape ramp ahead for trucks that lose their brakes on a steep downgrade
3. This plaque below another warning sign shows how many miles that warning stays in effect
4. The road ahead turns sharply in the direction the large arrow shows

Correct answer: There is a steep hill or grade ahead. This warning sign means there is a steep hill or grade ahead. Be ready to react safely as you approach this part of the road.

1. Turn quickly before any bicyclist reaches the intersection
2. Never enter the bike lane under any circumstances at all
3. Sound the horn loudly so the bicyclist stops and waits
4. Merge into the lane near the turn, yield, then go behind

Correct answer: Merge into the lane near the turn, yield, then go behind. Drivers should merge into the bike lane shortly before the turn (not far in advance), yield to any bicyclist already there, and complete the turn behind the bicyclist rather than cutting them off.

Source: California Driver Handbook, Sharing the Road-Bicycles, p.90 (2020 handbook PDF): "Only enter a bike lane no more than 200 feet before starting a turn"

1. No closer than 5 feet
2. No closer than 50 feet
3. No closer than 15 feet
4. No closer than 10 feet

Correct answer: No closer than 15 feet. In Wyoming, you must not park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, so firefighters can connect a hose quickly in an emergency.

1. It only exists to generate more traffic tickets
2. Driving too slowly can interfere with traffic flow and be dangerous too
3. It applies only to trucks and buses, never to cars
4. It guarantees a driver will never get a speeding ticket

Correct answer: Driving too slowly can interfere with traffic flow and be dangerous too. A minimum speed limit exists because driving well below the flow of highway traffic can be just as dangerous as driving too fast, since it can cause other vehicles to brake suddenly or make unsafe passing moves.

1. 15 mph
2. 20 mph
3. 30 mph
4. 10 mph

Correct answer: 20 mph. While the school zone is active in Wyoming, the posted maximum speed is 20 mph, no matter what the regular road speed limit is.

1. There is a four-way intersection ahead where a road crosses yours from both sides
2. Traffic from a side road may enter ahead whenever the attached beacon is flashing
3. Two side roads ahead meet your road directly across from each other at the same point
4. A side road ahead joins your road at an angle rather than straight on

Correct answer: Two side roads ahead meet your road directly across from each other at the same point. This yellow diamond sign warns that two side roads ahead meet your road directly across from each other at the same point. Slow down and adjust your driving to handle it safely.

Source: MUTCD 2009 Sec. 2C (Warning Signs)

1. The color of the car in front of them
2. The brand of their own vehicle
3. A horn or siren warning them of danger
4. The time shown on the dashboard clock

Correct answer: A horn or siren warning them of danger. Alcohol slows a driver's reaction not only to what they see but also to what they hear, such as a horn, a siren, or another driver's warning sound, making it take longer to respond to danger.

1. Driving to or from work
2. Visiting friends for fun
3. Attending a late movie
4. Driving without any specific reason

Correct answer: Driving to or from work. Driving to or from work is one of the approved exceptions to the intermediate license curfew.

1. 6:00 a.m.
2. 7:00 a.m.
3. 5:00 a.m.
4. 4:00 a.m.

Correct answer: 5:00 a.m.. The GDL nighttime restriction in Wyoming ends at 5:00 a.m., after which normal provisional-license driving privileges resume.

1. Clockwise
2. Counterclockwise
3. Either direction, chosen by the driver
4. Straight through the middle

Correct answer: Counterclockwise. In U.S. roundabouts, all traffic moves counterclockwise around the center island.

Source: California Driver Handbook, PDF p.48, counter-clockwise direction

1. Only when you turn onto a one-way street from a two-way street
2. Only during daytime hours
3. At any intersection, as long as no cars are coming
4. Only when turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street, after stopping

Correct answer: Only when turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street, after stopping. A left turn on red is a narrow exception in Wyoming: it only applies where both the street you're on and the street you're entering are one-way, and only after a full stop and yielding right-of-way.

1. 300 feet
2. 100 feet
3. 200 feet
4. 50 feet

Correct answer: 100 feet. Most states, including Wyoming, expect drivers to signal at least 100 feet before changing lanes so nearby drivers have time to notice and react.

1. Flash your own high beams repeatedly and stare directly at their headlights
2. Look toward the right edge of the road or lane markings, and slow down if needed
3. Close your eyes briefly
4. Speed up to pass the glare quickly

Correct answer: Look toward the right edge of the road or lane markings, and slow down if needed. Looking directly at oncoming high beams temporarily ruins your night vision. Instead, look toward the right edge of the roadway or the lane markings to keep your bearings, and slow down if you need more time to react.

1. Bridges lose heat from both above and below, so they freeze before the road and can hide ice
2. Bridges and overpasses are always fully closed to all traffic during the entire winter season
3. Bridges have less traction due to their material at all times, not just in winter
4. It is only an old myth passed around by drivers with no real basis in fact

Correct answer: Bridges lose heat from both above and below, so they freeze before the road and can hide ice. Because air can circulate both above and below a bridge or overpass, they lose heat faster than the surrounding roadway and freeze first, often hiding icy patches.

1. Free vehicle inspections offered at that same location
2. A rental car service
3. A vehicle weigh station
4. Roadside assistance for a disabled or broken-down vehicle

Correct answer: Roadside assistance for a disabled or broken-down vehicle. This sign tells drivers that roadside assistance services, useful if their vehicle breaks down, are available nearby.

1. 12:00 a.m.
2. 8:00 p.m.
3. 11:00 p.m.

1. 90 days
2. One year
3. Three years
4. 180 days

Correct answer: 90 days. A first DWUI conviction within ten years carries a 90-day suspension.
