If you miss your freeway exit, what should you do?

  1. Back up on the shoulder

  2. Cut across the grass to reach the exit

  3. Turn around on the shoulder

  4. Continue to the next exit

The correct answer is: Continue to the next exit

When you miss your freeway exit, the safest course of action is to continue to the next exit. This approach allows you to safely navigate the roadway without causing a hazard to yourself or other drivers. Freeways are designed with specific traffic flow patterns, and attempting to back up or maneuver in an unsafe manner can lead to dangerous situations, including collisions and traffic congestion. By proceeding to the next exit, you can find a safe place to turn around or re-enter the freeway, ensuring both your safety and the safety of others on the road. This method is consistent with defensive driving principles, which emphasize caution and the importance of maintaining control of the vehicle in all situations.
