1. In a heavy snowstorm or thick fog you may not see more than 100 feet ahead. What does the Wyoming manual advise?
Correct answer: Pull off the road and wait for it to clear
With visibility that short there is no speed that is safe, so the manual tells you to leave the road and wait for conditions to improve.

3. About how far ahead do your headlights let you see clearly, according to the Wyoming manual?
Correct answer: About 250 feet

6. Trees and buildings hide the cross street at a Wyoming intersection. How fast should you approach it?
Correct answer: No more than 15 miles per hour

7. Unless a sign says otherwise, what is the speed limit in a Wyoming school zone?
Correct answer: 20 miles per hour

8. What does the Wyoming manual say about speed on an icy road?
Correct answer: Slow to a crawl

9. When should a Wyoming driver adjust speed for a curve?
Correct answer: Before entering it
Get your speed down before you reach the bend; carrying too much speed into it can break the grip the tires have on the surface.

Correct answer: 30 miles per hour
Both residential streets and business districts carry the same default figure of thirty miles an hour.
