  3. The custodial parent or guardian.
  4. No adult; the minor's signature is sufficient.

Card 11 · Medical emergency exception

An intermediate driver faces a medical emergency and has no choice but to drive to the hospital after 11 p.m. Must the driver first obtain the ordinary exception form?

  1. Yes; treatment must wait until an employer signs it.
  2. Yes; only a school published can approve the trip.
  3. No; WYDOT specifically says the form is not needed for that emergency.
  4. No, because every trip after 11 p.m. is unrestricted.
Show answer for card 11

Correct answer: No; WYDOT specifically says the form is not needed for that emergency.

The emergency exception is distinct from planned medical-necessity travel. WYDOT says a driver with no choice but to reach the hospital in a medical emergency does not need the form.

Card 12 · Full privileges

A 16½-year-old has held an intermediate permit for six months and completed approved driver education. May this satisfy the age pathway for full driving privileges?

  1. No; every applicant must wait until 18.
  2. No; driver education lengthens the permit period to a year.
  3. Yes, but only after another six-month learner permit.
  4. Yes, if the remaining licensing requirements are met.
Show answer for card 12

Correct answer: Yes, if the remaining licensing requirements are met.

Wyoming allows the early full-privilege route after six intermediate months and approved education. Without that route, the ordinary full-license minimum is 17.

Supervision does not replace the requirement to have the permit in immediate possession while using it.

Card 14 · Fitness to drive

You are having difficulty staying alert during a long trip. What is the safer response?

  1. Raise the radio volume and keep going.
  2. Stop in a safe place and rest rather than continue driving tired.
  3. Open a window and assume alertness has returned.
  4. Follow another car closely to maintain concentration.
Show answer for card 14

Correct answer: Stop in a safe place and rest rather than continue driving tired.

Fatigue can affect vision and decision time. Temporary stimulation does not replace adequate rest or remove the need to stop driving when too tired.

Card 15 · Traffic signals

You intend to turn right at a circular red light. No sign or officer prohibits it. What must you do first?

  1. Slow without stopping if the cross street looks empty.
  2. Turn immediately because right turns never conflict.
  3. Stop completely, then yield to pedestrians and conflicting traffic before turning if safe.
  4. Stop only if another vehicle is waiting.
Show answer for card 15

Correct answer: Stop completely, then yield to pedestrians and conflicting traffic before turning if safe.

Wyoming permits a right turn after a complete stop at a steady red signal unless a sign prohibits it. Yield to pedestrians and conflicting traffic before turning cautiously.

Card 16 · Traffic signals

You approach a flashing red traffic light. What should you do?

  1. Slow only, as at a flashing yellow light.
  2. Continue at normal speed unless another driver stops.
  3. Wait indefinitely for the flashing light to become steady green.
  4. Stop completely, then proceed cautiously after yielding as required.
Show answer for card 16

Correct answer: Stop completely, then proceed cautiously after yielding as required.

Flashing red requires a full stop. After stopping, use the applicable right-of-way rules and enter only when safe.

Card 17 · Traffic signals

Your approach has a flashing yellow traffic light. What is the appropriate response?

  1. Slow down and proceed with caution while checking the intersection.
  2. Treat it as a protected movement that needs no checks.
  3. Always accelerate through before another driver arrives.
  4. Stop and remain stopped until green appears.
Show answer for card 17

Correct answer: Slow down and proceed with caution while checking the intersection.

Flashing yellow calls for caution, not a guarantee of a clear path. It differs from flashing red’s full-stop instruction.

Card 18 · Railroad crossings

The crossing gate is down but you cannot see a train. May you drive around it?

  1. Yes, after waiting one minute.
  2. No; stay stopped until the gate is raised, lights stop flashing and the tracks are clear.
  3. Yes, if a car ahead has already gone around.
  4. Yes, if you can see only one track.
Show answer for card 18

Correct answer: No; stay stopped until the gate is raised, lights stop flashing and the tracks are clear.

A lowered gate is not optional merely because the train is out of view. Check all tracks before proceeding after the warnings end.

Card 19 · Railroad awareness

One train passes and begins to clear your view. Why should you keep checking the crossing instead of following it immediately?

  1. The first train always cancels the crossing warning for following trains.
  2. Only the nearest track needs to be checked after one train has passed.
  3. Another train may be approaching on a different track.
  4. Any additional train must stop if a car begins crossing.
Show answer for card 19

Correct answer: Another train may be approaching on a different track.

A first train can hide another train. Wait for the warning devices to permit movement and verify that every track is clear.

Card 20 · Choosing speed

Rain, poor visibility and a curve make the posted speed unsafe. What should you do?

  1. Maintain the posted speed because it is always a safe target.
  2. Use the posted speed until tires begin sliding.
  3. Follow the speed of the fastest car nearby.
  4. Reduce speed for the actual conditions, even below the posted limit.
Show answer for card 20

Correct answer: Reduce speed for the actual conditions, even below the posted limit.

Posted limits are intended for ideal conditions. The manual calls for lower speeds for curves, poor weather, limited visibility and other hazards.
