2. You spot an animal near a Wyoming roadway. What does the manual suggest doing to warn other drivers?

Ease off your speed, tap the brakes so your lights flash a warning behind you, and use the horn. Be careful with high beams, which can freeze the animal in place.

3. How much of a lane is a motorcycle entitled to on a Wyoming road?
Correct answer: The full width of the lane
A rider gets the whole lane, and skilled riders keep moving around within it to see and be seen, so never slide up beside one in the same lane.

5. Why should a Wyoming driver be careful about a motorcycle's flashing turn signal?
Correct answer: On most motorcycles the signal does not shut off by itself
Most motorcycles do not cancel a signal on their own, so a blinking light may be left over from an earlier turn. Make sure the rider really is turning before you pull out.

6. How many motorcycles may ride abreast in a single Wyoming lane?
Correct answer: Two, and only if both riders agree
Two is the ceiling, and both riders have to agree to it; nothing more than a pair may share the lane side by side.

8. You come up behind a bicyclist on a narrow Wyoming road with no room to pass. What should you do?

9. Which driver error causes a large share of car-motorcycle crashes in Wyoming?
Correct answer: Turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle
Turning left across the path of an oncoming rider is the classic case; the driver either never spots the motorcycle or misjudges how fast it is closing.

Correct answer: The blind area beside or directly behind a heavy vehicle
It is the space beside or straight behind a large vehicle where the truck driver simply cannot see another vehicle at all.

11. A deer steps onto a Wyoming highway and a collision looks unavoidable. What does the manual advise?
Correct answer: Brake as hard as is safe and stay on the road

12. Your vehicle breaks down in Wyoming and you must walk along a road with no sidewalk. Which side do you use?
Correct answer: The left side, facing oncoming traffic
