This Practice Test 4 is modeled on the Department of Transportation (DOT) written knowledge exam, whose length the agency does not publish; to pass you need 80% correct. These 25 questions rotate through traffic laws, road signs, and right-of-way - the core topics the DOT tests most heavily. Every question includes an explanation, so you learn the rule behind each answer - not just whether you got it right.

Question 1 of 25

You are driving out of a parking lot onto a street. What does Wyoming law require before you enter the street?

Sample questions from this test, with answers

Want to test yourself first? Take the test above before reading these. Every answer below is checked against the source shown.

  1. 1. You park facing uphill on a road with no curb. Which way should you turn your front wheels?

    • A. Toward the edge of the road (correct)
    • B. Away from the edge, to the left
    • C. Straight ahead, not turned
    • D. Toward the center line

    Why: Only uphill parking next to a curb calls for wheels turned away from the curb. In every other case, including uphill with no curb, turn the wheels toward the curb or edge of the road (to the right).

  2. 2. A Wyoming Intermediate permit holder may not carry more than:

    • A. One non-family passenger under 18 (correct)
    • B. Three non-family passengers under 18
    • C. Two non-family passengers under 21
    • D. No passengers at all

    Why: A Wyoming Intermediate permit holder may transport no more than one passenger under 18 who is not an immediate family member, and all occupants must wear seat belts.

  3. 3. You are behind a school bus on a four-lane highway with a raised median. The bus stops with red lights flashing and its stop arm out. What must you do?

    • A. Pass slowly in the left lane
    • B. Stop - traffic behind the bus must stop (correct)
    • C. Keep going because the road is divided
    • D. Stop only if you see children outside

    Why: A divided highway may excuse traffic on the opposite side, but never drivers going the same way as the bus. Stay stopped until the red lights stop flashing and the stop arm is pulled in.

  4. 4. In most states, which left turn may you make on a steady red light after a full stop, if no sign forbids it?

    • A. From a two-way street onto another two-way street
    • B. From any street when no oncoming car is in sight
    • C. From a two-way street into a store's driveway
    • D. From a one-way street onto another one-way street (correct)

    Why: Most states allow a left turn on red from a one-way street onto another one-way street that carries traffic to the left. You must stop fully and yield to pedestrians and traffic first.

  5. 5. What is the 'point of no return' when approaching a yellow light?

    • A. The moment the light changes from green to yellow
    • B. The stop line - once past it you must proceed
    • C. The point where you can no longer stop safely (correct)
    • D. Exactly 100 feet before the intersection

    Why: The 'point of no return' is the position from which stopping safely (without running the light or causing a rear-end collision) becomes impossible. Before this point, slow and stop. After it, proceed through safely.

  6. 6. Hydroplaning is most likely to occur when:

    • A. Driving slowly through deep, soft snow on a hill
    • B. Driving fast on a wet road, mainly with worn tires (correct)
    • C. Driving on dry pavement on a very hot day
    • D. Braking gently on an icy road in the cold

    Why: Hydroplaning happens when a layer of water builds between your tires and the road, usually at higher speeds on wet pavement. Worn tires and standing water increase the risk. Slow down in the rain to keep tire contact with the road.
