If you miss your exit on an interstate expressway:

1. Stop and make a U-turn.
2. Get off at the next exit and come back to the exit you missed. ✓
3. Roll down your window and ask the driver next to you for help.
4. Back up on the highway.

Answer: B. Get off at the next exit and come back to the exit you missed.

If you miss your exit, get off at the next exit and come back to the exit you missed.

Why this is the answer

The handbook tells you that if you pass your exit, you must go to the next one. It also says never back up on an entrance or exit ramp. So the safe and lawful move is to continue to the next exit, get off there, and come back to the exit you missed. Stopping, turning around, or reversing on a limited access highway is not part of the handbook's instruction; the instruction is simply to take the next exit.

Why the other answers are wrong

• A. Stop and make a U-turn. — Stopping and making a U-turn is not what the handbook directs; it says to go on to the next exit when you pass yours.
• C. Roll down your window and ask the driver next to you for help. — Asking the driver beside you is not a safe or handbook-supported way to handle a missed exit; you should continue to the next exit.
• D. Back up on the highway. — Backing up is directly prohibited on an entrance or exit ramp, so reversing on the highway is not allowed.

Remember it

Missed your exit? Keep going and take the next one.
