About these questions

We wrote these practice questions from the facts in the Wyoming Driver License Manual: Rules of the Road (Rules of the Road, State of Wyoming Driver License Manual, 2021 (last page: produced by the WYDOT Driver Services Program, Public Affairs Office, August 2021); 98 PDF pages, and the PDF page number equals the printed page number. Linked as the Class C manual on the WYDOT page Driver Manuals (https://www.dot.state.wy.us/home/driver_license_records/formsapplications/driver-manuals.html), read 2026-11-10; no newer English edition was linked. The preface says the manual is not the language of the law and that the statutes (Wyoming Laws and Related Statutes) govern. Statutes: Wyoming Statutes Title 31 (Motor Vehicles), the compiled PDF on wyoleg.gov (https://wyoleg.gov/statutes/compress/title31.pdf, read 2026-11-10, it shows amendments up to Laws 2025). Pages not used: county registration office list (PDF p. 90), organ donor, wildlife and Amber Alert text (PDF pp. 15-18), commercial and motorcycle material. Where the 2021 manual differs from or is silent next to the current statute, and how it was handled: (1) Child restraint fines (PDF p. 30: $60 first, $110 later) differ from W.S. 31-5-1304 ($50 first, $100 later); not tested, the age-nine rule (31-5-1303) matches. (2) Crash reporting (PDF p. 67: police when damage is $1,000 or more) differs from W.S. 31-5-1105, which requires immediate notice for an injury, a death, or a vehicle too damaged to operate normally and safely, with no dollar figure; the question uses the statute and the manual's injury-or-disabled wording only. (3) Emergency and maintenance vehicles (PDF pp. 40 and 49 say to slow 20 mph on roads with one lane each way; PDF p. 71-72 and W.S. 31-5-224 limit this to a two-lane road with a posted limit of 45 mph or more, slowing to 20 mph under the limit); not tested in numbers. (4) Passing speed (PDF pp. 54-55 allow 10 mph over the limit while passing) is narrower in W.S. 31-5-203(b): two-lane roads with a posted limit of 50 mph or more, passenger car, pickup or motorcycle not towing, not in construction zones; the question follows the statute. (5) Intersections with no signs (PDF pp. 42-43 say yield to the driver on your right regardless of who arrives first) differ from W.S. 31-5-220, where the vehicle that entered first has priority and the driver on the left yields at about the same time; the question tests only the same-time rule, which both agree on. (6) Seat belts: PDF p. 29 says all occupants must wear belts, W.S. 31-5-1402 requires every driver and passenger to wear one and the driver to require passengers under 12, with only a secondary-enforcement fine of up to $25 for a driver and $10 for a passenger and no stop solely for the violation; questions follow the statute. (7) Texting (PDF p. 89) matches W.S. 31-5-237; Wyoming has no statewide ban on holding a phone for calls, so common phone questions that assume one are excluded. (8) Speed limits (PDF p. 41) match W.S. 31-5-301 for school zones (20 mph), urban and residence districts (30 mph) and state highways (70 mph); the statute adds 65 mph paved and 55 mph unpaved elsewhere and 80 mph on designated interstate sections. (9) Insurance minimums (25/50/20) are in W.S. 31-9-405(b), not in the manual. (10) Fees (PDF p. 11) match W.S. 31-7-113 before the $5 technology fee; WYDOT FAQ amounts include it. (11) Headlights (PDF p. 77: half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise, or when people and vehicles cannot be seen at 1,000 feet) match W.S. 31-5-910. (12) Dimming (PDF p. 78: 500 feet to oncoming, 300 feet behind another vehicle) match W.S. 31-5-924. (13) The manual's amber-light text (PDF p. 97) says to stop if possible; W.S. 31-5-403 only calls steady yellow a warning; the question follows the manual's wording. (14) The manual says a person may be convicted of DWUI at 0.05 percent with other evidence (PDF p. 37); W.S. 31-5-233(c) gives no presumption between 0.05 and 0.08, so it is not tested. (15) The manual's following-distance rule is two seconds for a car; PDF p. 77 also says to increase following distance at least three or four seconds when you cannot see clearly; following_seconds uses the two-second rule. edition) and from official sources on road signs.
