A 3-minute lesson from the Wyoming course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
Exits sneak up at Interstate speeds. Plan ahead, get into the exit lane early, and do your slowing down after you're off the main road. If your vehicle breaks down, get it and your passengers as far from traffic as you can.
Leaving the Interstate:
PLAN ahead; watch for signs telling you about your exit and the lane you must use
Signal and move into the proper lane a mile or more before the exit
NEVER slow down on the Interstate itself
SLOW after you turn into the deceleration lane
Once off, watch for two-way traffic and check your speed
Your tire blows on a bridge on I-80. Don't stop on the bridge. Drive slowly until you're past it, pull all four wheels well onto the right shoulder, turn on your flashers and get out on the side away from traffic.
Check your understanding
Read the question, decide on an answer, then open it to check the explanation. These are Roadwise study questions based on the source handbook.
