Before driving after frost or snow, how much of the glass should you clear?
Correct answer: All windows needed for a clear view, not merely a small opening in the windshield.
The handbook says to clear snow, ice and frost from all windows. Side and rear visibility matter as well as the forward view.

Before getting into a car to back out of a driveway, what is especially important?

What dimming distances does Wyoming's handbook give for an approaching car and a car you are following?

Which arrangement correctly positions an ordinary lap-and-shoulder belt?
Correct answer: Lap belt low over the hips and shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest.
The handbook places the lap belt over the hips, not the stomach, and the shoulder belt across the chest. Routing it under the arm or behind the back removes intended protection.

Which condition requires an ordinary car's headlights and other required lamps under Wyoming law?
Correct answer: It is half an hour after sunset, or poor conditions prevent clearly seeing people and vehicles 1,000 feet ahead.
The time rule runs from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise; insufficient light or bad atmospheric visibility also triggers the 1,000-foot rule.

Where should you find the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle?
Correct answer: The vehicle owner's manual or driver's-side door-jamb label.
The handbook directs using the vehicle's recommended PSI and checking with a tire-pressure gauge. Visual appearance alone is not an adequate pressure check.

Before a trip you discover that a required brake or light is not working properly. What should you do?
Correct answer: Have the defect corrected before operating an unsafe vehicle on the highway.
Required equipment must be in good working order, and the vehicle must be mechanically safe. The driver's convenience does not remove that duty.

Why must you avoid warming a running car in a closed garage?

You carry loose material in a vehicle on a highway. What must the loading arrangement prevent?
Correct answer: Material dropping, sifting, leaking or otherwise escaping.
