Wyoming Motorcycle Alcohol, Drugs and Traffic Stops Practice Test

What the Wyoming Driver License Manual: Motorcycle says about alcohol, drugs and traffic stops

• Effects on decision-making

  Wyoming's manual: alcohol seriously weakens the ability to identify, predict, decide and execute; impaired drivers fix their eyes on one object and lose side vision, and a drinking driver at 55 mph travels an extra 32 feet or more (about two-fifths of a second) before braking. p. 33

• Other factors

  Wyoming's manual: alcohol affects inexperienced drivers and inexperienced drinkers more. p. 34

• Drinking and driving — Is it worth it?

  Under Wyoming's Implied Consent law, drivers on public roads are deemed to consent to chemical testing; if you refuse, officers may get a warrant for the test. A BAC of 0.08% or more suspends the license for 90 days, and a DWUI conviction is possible at 0.05% with other supporting evidence. p. 35

• Other drugs

  Wyoming's manual: most common drugs (diet, sleeping, allergy, tranquilizers) affect driving skills. p. 35

• What to do when you are stopped by law enforcement

  Wyoming's manual on traffic stops: put your vehicle in park, stay on the motorcycle unless the officer asks you to get off, keep your hands on the handlebars where the officer can see them, and understand that an officer will generally give their name on request and tell you why you were stopped. p. 37

• What to do when you are stopped by law enforcement

  Wyoming law: when passing an emergency or maintenance vehicle with lights on at the roadside, move to the lane farthest from it on an interstate, or slow by at least 20 mph on a two-lane road; when an emergency vehicle with lights on is overtaking you, pull to the right and stop until it passes. p. 38
