If you miss your exit on an interstate highway, what should you do?

Make a U-turn immediately
Continue to the next exit
Pull over to the left side of the road
Stop your vehicle and reverse

The correct answer is: Continue to the next exit

When you miss your exit on an interstate highway, the best course of action is to continue to the next exit. This approach allows you to safely adjust your route without disrupting the flow of traffic or creating a hazardous situation. Making a U-turn or stopping to reverse not only poses a significant danger to you and other drivers but is also illegal on most highways, as these maneuvers can lead to accidents. Pulling over to the left side of the road is also unsafe, as it can lead to a collision and does not provide a viable solution to getting back on track. Continuing to the next exit is a common and safe practice that lets you regroup, find a way to turn around, and navigate back to your desired route.
