Practice question

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

  1. Turn around immediately
  2. Make a U-turn
  3. Continue to the next exit and turn around
  4. Stop and back up

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

If you miss your exit on the highway, the safest and most responsible action is to continue to the next exit and turn around. This approach allows you to avoid dangerous maneuvers like suddenly changing lanes, which could lead to conflicts with other vehicles or even accidents. Highways are designed for smooth traffic flow, and making an abrupt turn or U-turn can create hazardous situations. By proceeding to the next exit, you have the opportunity to safely navigate back in the direction you need to go without putting yourself or other drivers in jeopardy. Once you exit, you can find a safe way to redirect yourself, whether that’s through a nearby road or a safe re-entry ramp.
