Question 1

You are stopped at a steady round red light in Cheyenne and want to turn right. What does the manual allow?

Accepted Answer

Turn right after a complete stop, unless a sign prohibits the turn, yielding to people and other vehicles. Right on red is Wyoming's default rather than a special permission. Two conditions ride with it: you must actually stop first, and any posted sign forbidding the turn overrides the default. Having stopped, you still give way to everyone already there. Official wording: "Red light You must stop behind the crosswalks or stop line. You can turn right at a RED light unless there is a sign that prohibits the turn." (Rules of the Road: State of Wyoming Driver License Manual (WYDOT Driver Services Program, 2021)).

Question 2

You and another driver reach an intersection with no signs and no signals at exactly the same moment, at right angles. Who goes first?

Accepted Answer

The driver on the right. When two drivers arrive together at an uncontrolled intersection, the tie-breaker is the driver on the right. The manual is blunt about it, and W.S. 31-5-220(b) puts the same rule in law: the driver on the left yields. Official wording: "When two (2) vehicles enter an intersection from different highways at approximately the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right." (Wyoming Statutes Section 31-5-220(b) (Wyoming Legislature, Title 31 - Motor Vehicles)).

Question 3

A school bus ahead of you on an ordinary two-lane road stops and its red lights begin flashing. What does Wyoming require?

Accepted Answer

Stop, and stay stopped until the bus moves or the red lights go off. On an undivided road both directions stop. The manual and W.S. 31-5-507(a) agree on when you may go again: the bus resumes motion, or the flashing red lights stop. Official wording: "When meeting or overtaking, from either direction, a stopped school bus with flashing red lights. The driver shall not proceed until the school bus resumes mo tion or the flashing red lights are no longer activated." (Rules of the Road: State of Wyoming Driver License Manual (WYDOT Driver Services Program, 2021)).

Question 4

You hold a Wyoming intermediate license. How many passengers under 18 who are not immediate family may you carry?

Accepted Answer

One. One. The manual's wording is that an intermediate license holder may not transport more than one passenger under 18 who is not an immediate family member, unless a licensed driver 18 or older is also along. Official wording: "May not transport more than one passenger under the age of 18 who is not an immediate family mem ber unless also accompanied by a licensed driver 18 years of age or older" (Rules of the Road: State of Wyoming Driver License Manual (WYDOT Driver Services Program, 2021)).

Question 5

How close to a crosswalk at an intersection may you stand or park a vehicle in Wyoming?

Accepted Answer

No closer than 20 feet. Twenty feet, from W.S. 31-5-504(a)(ii)(C). The manual never prints this figure - it bans parking in a crosswalk but says nothing about the approach to one - so the statute is the only place to get it. Official wording: "In front of a public or private driveway; (B) Within fifteen (15) feet of a fire hydrant; (C) Within twenty (20) feet of a crosswalk at an intersection; (D) Within twenty (20) feet upon the approach to any flashing signal, stop sign, yield sign or traffic-control signal located at the side of a roadway;" (Wyoming Statutes Section 31-5-504(a)(ii) (Wyoming Legislature, Title 31 - Motor Vehicles)).

Question 6

You are on a two-lane Wyoming highway posted at 65 mph and a patrol car is parked ahead with its lights flashing. What does the law require?

Accepted Answer

Slow to 20 mph below the posted limit, so 45 mph here. Twenty mph below the posted limit, not down to 20 mph. On a 65 mph road that means 45. W.S. 31-5-224(a)(ii) sets the rule for two-lane roads posted at 45 mph or more, and the manual states it as reducing your speed by at least 20 mph. Official wording: "When driving on a two (2) lane road with a posted speed limit of forty-five (45) miles per hour or greater, shall slow to a speed that is twenty (20) miles per hour less than the posted speed limit, except when otherwise directed by a police officer." (Wyoming Statutes Section 31-5-224(a)(ii) (Wyoming Legislature, Title 31 - Motor Vehicles)).

Question 7

A 19-year-old is in actual physical control of a vehicle in Wyoming with an alcohol concentration of 0.03 percent. What happens?

Accepted Answer

A DWUI suspension, because the limit under 21 is 0.02 percent. Under 21, the number is 0.02. The manual says a driver younger than 21 in actual physical control of a vehicle with an alcohol concentration of 0.02 percent or more will be suspended for DWUI - and 0.03 is over that line. Official wording: "If you are younger than 21 years of age and are in actual physical control of a vehicle with an alcohol concentra tion of two one-hundredths of one percent (0.02 per cent) or more, you will be suspended for DWUI." (Rules of the Road: State of Wyoming Driver License Manual (WYDOT Driver Services Program, 2021)).

Question 8

You are overtaking a slow vehicle on a two-lane Wyoming highway posted at 65 mph. What does the law allow?

Accepted Answer

You may exceed the limit by up to 10 mph while passing a vehicle traveling below the legal maximum. Ten mph, and only while passing a vehicle that is itself travelling below the legal maximum. W.S. 31-5-203(b) allows it for a car, motorcycle, autocycle or pickup that is not towing anything. Official wording: "This subsection shall be applicable only upon roadways divided into two (2) lanes for two (2) way movement of traffic and where the posted speed limit is fifty (50) miles per hour or greater. This subsection shall not be applicable in construction zones." (Wyoming Statutes Section 31-5-203(b) (Wyoming Legislature, Title 31 - Motor Vehicles)).

Question 9

You turn off a paved Wyoming highway onto an unpaved county road with no speed limit signs. What is the statutory maximum?

Accepted Answer

55 mph. Fifty-five on an unpaved road. W.S. 31-5-301(b)(iv) sets 65 mph for any other paved location the table does not name and 55 mph where the roadway is unpaved. Official wording: "For all other locations for which a maximum speed limit is not specified under this subsection, sixty-five (65) miles per hour where the roadway is paved and fifty-five (55) miles per hour where the roadway is unpaved;" (Wyoming Statutes Section 31-5-301(b)(iv) (Wyoming Legislature, Title 31 - Motor Vehicles)).

Question 10

You completed an approved Wyoming driver education course. Which test can that waive?

Accepted Answer

The driving skills test only. The skills test, and only the skills test. The manual says the skills test may be waived for an applicant who presents a certification card proving completion of an approved driver education class. Official wording: "The skills test may be waived for those who present proof, in the form of a certification card, that they have completed an approved driver education class." (Rules of the Road: State of Wyoming Driver License Manual (WYDOT Driver Services Program, 2021)).

Question 11

The car ahead of you has stopped at a marked crosswalk to let a pedestrian cross. What does Wyoming law say you may do?

Accepted Answer

You may not overtake and pass the stopped vehicle. No passing. W.S. 31-5-602(e) forbids any driver approaching from the rear to overtake and pass a vehicle stopped at a marked or unmarked crosswalk to let a pedestrian cross. Official wording: "Whenever any vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or at any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway, the driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall not overtake and pass the stopped vehicle." (Wyoming Statutes Section 31-5-602(e) (Wyoming Legislature, Title 31 - Motor Vehicles)).

Question 12

Up to what age does Wyoming's child restraint law apply?

Accepted Answer

Until the child's ninth birthday. A child who has not reached his or her ninth birthday must be properly secured in a child safety restraint system. That is the manual's key point and W.S. 31-5-1303(a) puts it in law. Official wording: "Child who has not reached his/her ninth birthday. Applies to all drivers." (Rules of the Road: State of Wyoming Driver License Manual (WYDOT Driver Services Program, 2021)).

Question 13

What does Wyoming's basic speed rule say, above and beyond any posted limit?

Accepted Answer

No person shall drive faster than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions, having regard to the actual and potential hazards. W.S. 31-5-301(a) sits above every number in the table. Reasonable and prudent for the actual conditions is the standard, so you can be speeding at 60 in a posted 65 if the road is iced. Official wording: "No person shall drive a vehicle on a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing." (Wyoming Statutes Section 31-5-301(a) (Wyoming Legislature, Title 31 - Motor Vehicles)).

Question 14

A Wyoming driver is arrested for DWUI, blows 0.11, and the criminal charge is later dismissed in court. What happens to the Administrative Per Se suspension?

Accepted Answer

It stands - dismissal of the DWUI in court does not affect it. It stands. The manual states it flatly: dismissal of the DWUI in court will not affect the Administrative Per Se suspension. The two run on separate tracks. Official wording: "Dismissal of the DWUI in court will not affect the Administrative Per Se suspension." (Rules of the Road: State of Wyoming Driver License Manual (WYDOT Driver Services Program, 2021)).

Question 15

A deer steps into the road ahead of you on a Wyoming highway and a collision looks unavoidable. What does the manual advise?

Accepted Answer

Do not swerve suddenly - brake as quickly as you safely can, keep control, and stay on the road. Do not swerve. The manual says your risk of personal injury may be greater if you do, and asks you to brake as hard as is safe while keeping the vehicle under control and on the road. Official wording: "If a collision seems inevitable, don't swerve suddenly to avoid the animal. Your risk of personal injury may be greater if you do. Brake as quickly as you safely can, but keep your vehicle under control and on the road." (Rules of the Road: State of Wyoming Driver License Manual (WYDOT Driver Services Program, 2021)).

Question 16

You are leaving a Wyoming town and can see the 65 mph sign a few hundred feet ahead. When may you accelerate to 65?

Accepted Answer

When you reach the sign, because the higher limit begins there. The limit changes at the sign, not on the approach to it. Until you are level with it the previous posted limit is the maximum lawful speed, and W.S. 31-5-301(b) describes those figures as maximum lawful speeds with no tolerance attached. Official wording: "local authorities in their respective jurisdictions may determine the proper maximum speed for all streets and highways within their respective corporate jurisdiction which maximum speed is reasonable and safe and which may be greater or less than the maximum speed permitted under this act." (Wyoming Statutes Section 31-5-303(b) (Wyoming Legislature, Title 31 - Motor Vehicles)).

Question 17

You passed the written test and got your Wyoming learner's permit today. How long must you hold it before you can apply for full driving privileges?

Accepted Answer

At least 10 days. Ten days. It is on WYDOT's Learner Permits page rather than in the manual, which is precisely why so many Wyoming learners have never heard of it. Official wording: "A learner's permit is valid for one year, and may be renewed as many times as necessary. However, it must be held for at least 10 days before you may apply for full driving privileges." (WYDOT Driver Services (dot.state.wy.us), fetched 2026-09-07).

Question 18

A Wyoming officer sees an adult front-seat passenger not wearing a safety belt and nothing else is wrong. May the vehicle be stopped for that alone?

Accepted Answer

No - W.S. 31-5-1402(d) says no motor vehicle shall be halted solely for a violation of the belt law. The adult belt law is secondary in Wyoming. The statute forbids halting a vehicle solely for a belt violation, so the stop has to rest on something else. Official wording: "No motor vehicle shall be halted solely for a violation of this section." (Wyoming Statutes Section 31-5-1402(d) (Wyoming Legislature, Title 31 - Motor Vehicles)).

Question 19

Two vehicles arrive at exactly the same instant at a Wyoming intersection with no signs, signals or markings. What do the manual and the statute both require?

Accepted Answer

The vehicle on the left yields to the vehicle on the right. Left yields to right. W.S. 31-5-220(b) applies the rule when two vehicles enter from different highways at approximately the same time, and the manual's advice to watch for the driver coming from your right gives the same answer here. Official wording: "Where no signs or signals are in place, you must watch for any driver coming from your right and yield the right of way regardless of who first reaches and enters" (Rules of the Road: State of Wyoming Driver License Manual (WYDOT Driver Services Program, 2021)).

Question 20

You are on I-80 in the right lane and a highway maintenance truck is stopped ahead on the shoulder with lights flashing. What does the law require?

Accepted Answer

Merge into the lane farthest from the vehicle, or at least one lane of traffic apart from it, as soon as it is safe. Move over. On an interstate or any highway with two or more lanes in your direction, W.S. 31-5-224 requires you to merge into the lane farthest from the vehicle, or at least one lane apart from it, unless an officer directs otherwise. Official wording: "When driving on an interstate highway or other highway with two (2) or more lanes traveling in the direction of the emergency vehicle, shall merge into the lane farthest from the emergency vehicle or at least one (1) lane of traffic apart from the emergency vehicle, except when otherwise directed by a police officer;" (Wyoming Statutes Section 31-5-224(a)(i) (Wyoming Legislature, Title 31 - Motor Vehicles)).

Question 21

A Wyoming driver blows 0.06 percent. What does the manual say about that result?

Accepted Answer

You may still be convicted of DWUI at 0.05 percent with other supporting evidence. There is no safe harbour below 0.08. The manual says plainly that while 0.08 or more may result in a conviction, you may also be convicted of DWUI at 0.05 percent with other supporting evidence. Official wording: "And while a BAC of 0.08 percent or more may result in a conviction, you may also be convicted of DWUI with a BAC of 0.05 percent and other supporting evidence." (Rules of the Road: State of Wyoming Driver License Manual (WYDOT Driver Services Program, 2021)).

Question 22

You are on a one-way street in Wyoming facing a steady red light and want to turn left into another one-way street. What does the manual say?

Accepted Answer

It is permitted after stopping and yielding, unless a sign prohibits the turn. Wyoming allows the one-way to one-way left on red on exactly the same terms as a right on red: stop first, yield, and obey any sign that forbids it. The manual states it in the same breath as the right-on-red rule. Official wording: "You may turn RIGHT only after STOPPING AND YIELDING to persons and other vehicles. You may also, after stopping and yielding, turn left from a one-way street onto a one-way street." (Rules of the Road: State of Wyoming Driver License Manual (WYDOT Driver Services Program, 2021)).

Question 23

You are on a divided Wyoming highway with a median, and a school bus on the other roadway stops with its red lights flashing. What must you do?

Accepted Answer

You need not stop, because the bus is on a different roadway. A separate roadway removes the duty. W.S. 31-5-507(d) says a driver on a highway with separate roadways need not stop for a school bus that is on a different roadway, and the manual gives the same exception for a physical barrier or separate roadways. Official wording: "The driver of a vehicle upon a highway with separate roadways need not stop upon meeting or passing a school bus which is on a different roadway" (Wyoming Statutes Section 31-5-507(d) (Wyoming Legislature, Title 31 - Motor Vehicles)).

Question 24

You reach a railroad crossing marked only with a crossbuck. What legal force does the crossbuck have in Wyoming?

Accepted Answer

It is a yield sign - you are legally required to yield the right of way to trains. The manual is unambiguous: crossbuck signs are yield signs, and you are legally required to yield the right of way to trains. Slow down, look and listen, and stop if a train is approaching. Official wording: "Crossbuck signs are yield signs. You are legally required to yield the right of way to trains." (Rules of the Road: State of Wyoming Driver License Manual (WYDOT Driver Services Program, 2021)).
