Safe driving
for Wyoming drivers.
Build space, awareness, and good decisions. Learn the general road principle, then check how your state handbook frames the decision.
Practice all safe driving questions SPACE GIVES YOU TIME TO THINK
Safe driving starts before you need an emergency maneuver. Attention, visibility, and space make ordinary surprises easier to manage.
Keep your attention on the drive
Set directions and adjust controls before moving. If a message or navigation problem needs attention, pull over in a safe place. Hands-free conversation can still compete for attention, even when your hands remain on the wheel.
Adapt your space to conditions
A comfortable gap on a dry road may be inadequate in rain or poor visibility. Leave additional room when stopping takes longer or your view is blocked. Avoid settling into another driver’s blind spot.
Recognize when to stop driving
Repeated yawning, drifting within a lane, and difficulty remembering recent miles can be signs of fatigue. Find a safe place to stop and rest. Opening a window is not a reliable treatment for sleepiness.
Remember: If visibility, traction, or attention gets worse, reduce demands on yourself: slow down, increase space, or stop somewhere safe.
