Practice question

What should you do if you miss your highway exit?

  1. Stop on the shoulder
  2. Back up to take the exit
  3. Continue to the next exit and re-route
  4. Signal and merge across lanes quickly

Answer: C — Continue to the next exit and re-route

Continuing to the next exit and re-routing is the safest and most responsible choice if you miss your highway exit. Highways are designed for high-speed travel, and stopping abruptly or backing up can create dangerous situations for you and other drivers. By proceeding to the next exit, you can safely exit the highway and find a way to return toward your intended destination without putting yourself or others at risk. This approach allows for a seamless transition back into traffic and gives you the opportunity to adjust your route without sudden movements that could lead to accidents.
