2. How many vehicles may you overtake at one time on a Wyoming two-lane road?
Correct answer: Only one
The manual limits you to a single vehicle per pass on a two-lane road, because a longer maneuver keeps you in the oncoming lane far too long.

7. Under Wyoming's Move Over Law, what must you do on a two-lane road posted at 45 miles per hour or higher when you approach a stopped emergency vehicle with lights flashing?
Correct answer: Slow to 20 miles an hour under the posted limit
Where there is no second lane to shift into, the law asks you to drop 20 miles an hour beneath the number on the sign as you go by.

8. Where does the Wyoming manual say you must not change lanes?
Correct answer: Just before or while inside an intersection
Lane changes are ruled out on the approach to an intersection and inside it, because drivers there are watching for crossing traffic instead of a shifting vehicle.

9. By how much may a Wyoming driver exceed the limit while overtaking a vehicle that is under the legal maximum speed?
Correct answer: 10 miles an hour
The manual allows a margin of ten miles an hour above the posted number, and only while you are actually completing the pass of a slower vehicle.

10. How does a Wyoming driver show with a hand signal that the vehicle is slowing or stopping?
Correct answer: The arm points down from the bent elbow
The left elbow bends and the hand drops toward the pavement, which is the manual's signal for losing speed or coming to a halt.

11. A police officer directing traffic gives you a signal that contradicts the traffic light. What must you do in Wyoming?
Correct answer: Do the officer's bidding, because the officer outranks the light
An officer's instruction carries more weight than any light or sign at the scene, so you follow the officer.

12. When is passing on the right permitted in Wyoming?
Correct answer: When the vehicle ahead is turning left, or heavy traffic fills two lanes going your way
You may go by on the right when the vehicle ahead is turning left, or where two or more lanes carry heavy traffic the same way. Dropping off the pavement to do it is never legal.
