- B Only sending texts is banned; reading them is allowed
- C Texting is banned only for drivers under 18
- D Using a hand-held device to write, send or read a text is banned
Show answer
D. Using a hand-held device to write, send or read a text is banned
Wyoming law bans operating a vehicle on a public street or highway while using a hand-held wireless device to write, send or read a text-based message. Voice-operated or hands-free use is exempt, as is texting while lawfully parked. Texting takes your eyes, hands and mind off driving at the same time.

At an intersection with no signs or signals, you want to turn left. One car approaches from your right and another is coming straight toward you from the opposite direction. Whom must you yield to?
- A Only the car on your right
- B Only the oncoming car
- C Neither of them, as long as you signalled your turn first
- D Both the car on your right and the oncoming car
Show answer
D. Both the car on your right and the oncoming car
The manual's diagram shows that a driver turning left at an uncontrolled intersection yields both to the vehicle on the right and to oncoming traffic. Left turns cross the most lanes of traffic, so the turning driver waits.
