Practice question

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

  1. Back up carefully
  2. Make a U-turn at the next opportunity
  3. Continue to the next exit to turn around safely
  4. Stay on the road and try to find an alternative route

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

If you miss your exit on the freeway, the safest course of action is to continue to the next exit to turn around safely. This approach ensures that you do not create a dangerous situation for yourself or other drivers. Freeways are designed for high-speed travel, and attempting to back up or make a U-turn can lead to serious accidents. By proceeding to the next exit, you can safely navigate back toward your desired route without endangering yourself or others on the road. This practice aligns with defensive driving principles, prioritizing safety and the smooth flow of traffic.
