Practice question

What should you do if you miss your exit on the highway?

  1. Make a U-turn at the next opportunity
  2. Back up to the missed exit
  3. Continue to the next exit and turn around
  4. Pull over and wait for traffic to clear

Answer: C — Continue to the next exit and turn around

If you miss your exit on the highway, the safest and most appropriate action is to continue to the next exit and turn around. This option ensures that you are following the rules of the road and maintaining a safe driving environment. Highways are designed for smooth traffic flow, and attempting to make a U-turn or backtrack can create hazards for yourself and other drivers. Continuing to the next exit allows you to safely navigate the road and find a legal and safe way to return to your desired route. This approach minimizes the risk of accidents and maintains traffic order. Taking this route avoids dangerous maneuvers that could lead to collisions or disruption of the flow of traffic.
