  2. At intersections, which vehicles are the biggest danger to motorcyclists?

    • A Cars turning right away from your lane
    • B Cars turning left in front of you and cars pulling out from side streets
    • C Cars already stopped at the stop line across from you
    • D Cars directly behind you waiting at a red light
    Show answer

    B. Cars turning left in front of you and cars pulling out from side streets

    Over half of motorcycle/car crashes happen when drivers enter a rider's right-of-way. Cars that turn left in front of you, including from the lane to your right, and cars that pull out of side streets are the biggest dangers.

  3. You pass the written exam and vision test but do not take the riding test. How long is your Wyoming restricted-use motorcycle permit good for?

    • A 30 days
    • B 90 days
    • C One year
    • D Six months
    Show answer

    B. 90 days

    Passing only the written exam and vision test earns a restricted-use motorcycle permit that lasts 90 days. It is meant as a short learning window; to get a longer permit you must also pass a riding test.

  4. A driver waiting to turn at an intersection looks right at you. What should you assume?

    • A If the car can enter your path, it will
    • B The driver has seen you and will yield
    • C Eye contact means you have the right-of-way
    • D You can safely speed up to clear the intersection
    Show answer

    A. If the car can enter your path, it will

    Never count on eye contact as a sign a driver will yield. The only eyes you can count on are your own: if a car can enter your path, assume it will, and be ready to slow, stop or swerve.
