What action would you take if you miss the exit on the highway?

  1. Brake abruptly and back up

  2. Exit as soon as possible

  3. Get into the left lane and take the next exit

  4. Stay in the right lane and turn around

The correct answer is: Get into the left lane and take the next exit

If you miss an exit on the highway, it is important to remain calm and avoid any sudden or unsafe decisions. Option A is not a safe solution as it can potentially cause an accident or block the flow of traffic. Option B is also not a recommended solution as exiting at the next opportunity without planning ahead can lead to getting lost or taking a longer route. Option D may seem like an easy solution, but it is not recommended as it involves unsafe maneuvers and violates traffic laws. The best course of action is to get into the left lane and take the next exit, where you can safely turn around and get back on track. This option allows you to safely re-route without disrupting the flow of traffic or putting yourself and others in danger.
