If you miss an exit on an expressway, what should you do?

  1. Make a U-turn immediately

  2. Go to the next exit and don't back up

  3. Stop and wait for traffic to clear

  4. Signal and reverse back to the exit

The correct answer is: Go to the next exit and don't back up

When you miss an exit on an expressway, the safest and most appropriate action to take is to continue driving until you reach the next exit. This allows you to maintain control and avoid dangerous maneuvers that could lead to accidents. By proceeding to the next exit, you can safely redirect yourself and find a way to return to your intended route without creating hazards for yourself or other drivers. Options such as making a U-turn or reversing back to the missed exit can create significant risks. U-turns are often illegal on expressways and can lead to collisions, while reversing in high-speed traffic poses immediate dangers to yourself and others. Stopping in a moving lane could result in being struck by another vehicle, which is also highly perilous. Therefore, continuing to the next exit is the most logical and safest choice.
