Tests, renewals and restricted licenses
Wyoming requires 20/40 vision with both eyes and a 120 degree field of view, and you may take the written test twice a day. A restricted license for 14 and 15 year olds allows driving only from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. within 50 miles of home.

- Lesson 3Losing the Privilege to DriveLaws and paperwork
Suspensions, revocations and reinstatement
Wyoming allows three moving violations in 12 months, and a fourth brings a 90 day suspension. Reckless driving, insurance violations and license misuse carry their own suspensions, and a revocation cancels your license.

- Lesson 4Losing the Privilege to DriveAlcohol and DUI
DWUI, Administrative Per Se and youthful driver suspensions
A chemical test of 0.08 percent or more brings a 90 day Administrative Per Se suspension even if the court case is dismissed. Drivers under 21 are suspended at 0.02 percent, and repeat DWUIs within 10 years bring longer suspensions and ignition interlocks.

- Lesson 5How Alcohol and Drugs Affect YouAlcohol and DUI
How alcohol affects you, and implied consent
Alcohol is the major cause of almost half of fatal crashes, and the liver removes it at about one drink per hour. Under implied consent you agree to testing, and you can be convicted of DWUI at 0.05 percent with other evidence.

- Lesson 6Safety Laws and IssuesLaws and paperwork
Seat belts and child restraints

- Lesson 7Rules of the RoadSpeed limits
Speed limits and adjusting to conditions
Unless posted, Wyoming limits are 80 or 75 mph on interstates, 70 mph on secondary highways, 30 mph in residential and business areas and 20 mph in school zones. Slow down before curves, on wet roads, on snow and ice, and at blind intersections.

- Lesson 8Rules of the RoadRight of way
Right of way rules
Right of way laws only say who must yield, never who has the right of way. Yield to the driver on your right where there are no signs or signals, to vehicles close enough to be dangerous when turning onto a road, and to pedestrians in marked crosswalks.

- Lesson 9Rules of the RoadEmergencies
Emergency vehicles and the Move Over law
When an emergency vehicle overtakes you with its lights on, pull to the right side and stop until it passes. For stopped emergency, utility or road vehicles, move to the farthest lane or, on a two lane road posted 45 mph or more, slow 20 mph below the limit.

- Lesson 10Rules of the RoadSafe driving
School buses and required stops
Stop for a school bus with flashing red lights from either direction, unless a physical barrier or separate roadway divides you from it. You must also stop at stop signs, red lights, rail crossings with flashing lights and when entering from a driveway.

- Lesson 11Traffic Signs, Signals and Road MarkingsSignals and markings
Traffic signals and arrows
Stop behind the crosswalk or stop line on red, and treat a flashing red like a stop sign. A flashing amber warns of a dangerous intersection, and a green arrow lets you turn without stopping if the way is clear.

- Lesson 12Traffic Signs, Signals and Road MarkingsSignals and markings
Pavement markings, signaling and passing
White lines separate traffic going the same way, yellow lines separate opposite directions, and solid yellow means no passing. Signal at least 100 feet before an intersection, and pass on the right only in limited cases.
9 key points · 2 numbers · Handbook pp. 51 to 63
- Lesson 13Traffic Signs, Signals and Road MarkingsRoad signs
Road sign shapes and colors
Sign shapes tell you what to do even when you cannot read them: an octagon is only for stop signs and a downward triangle means yield. Diamonds warn of hazards, a pentagon marks school zones and a round sign warns of a railroad crossing.

- Lesson 14Sharing the Road SafelySafe driving
Following distance and heavy trucks
Wyoming uses a two second following rule for cars, doubled or tripled when pavement is slick, tripled on snow and quadrupled on ice. Trucks need far more distance to stop, so after passing one, see both headlights and the whole cab in your mirror before pulling in.

- Lesson 15Special Driving Conditions and EmergenciesSafe driving
Night, weather and winter driving
Headlights are required from a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise and whenever you cannot see 1,000 feet. Pump conventional brakes on slippery roads but never ABS, and watch for invisible black ice.

- Lesson 16Special Driving Conditions and EmergenciesEmergencies
When a crash seems imminent, and vehicle failures
If a crash seems certain, slow as fast as possible, turn away, and speed up only when that helps. Know what to do when the gas pedal sticks, the brakes fail, a tire blows or you leave the pavement.

- Lesson 17Special Driving Conditions and EmergenciesEmergencies
Crashes, breakdowns and railroad crossings
After a crash you must stay until police have questioned everyone and report injuries, deaths or $1,000 in damage. If you stall on railroad tracks, get everyone out and far away, then call 911.

Motorcycles, pedestrians, bicycles and animals
Motorcycles get a full lane, and no more than two may ride abreast. Pedestrians account for nearly 20 percent of traffic deaths, bicyclists need at least 3 feet when space allows, and animal collisions peak in fall and spring.
