Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles Permit Practice Test

What should you do if you miss your exit on an expressway?

1. Turn around at the next ramp

2. Continue to the next exit

3. Stop immediately and backtrack

4. Make a U-turn across the median

The correct answer is: Continue to the next exit

If you miss your exit on an expressway, the safest and most appropriate response is to continue to the next exit. This action allows you to maintain a safe speed and follow traffic flow. Trying to turn around at the next ramp or making a U-turn can create hazardous situations, as expressways are designed for higher speeds and do not always have easy access to turn around safely. Stopping immediately to backtrack is dangerous, as it can cause accidents or disrupt the flow of traffic. Therefore, proceeding to the next exit gives you the opportunity to safely navigate back to your desired route without endangering yourself or others on the road.
