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

Go to the next exit
Make a U-turn
Stop and backtrack
Exit at the nearest rest area

The correct answer is: Go to the next exit

When you miss your exit on an interstate highway, the safest and most appropriate action is to proceed to the next exit. This is correct because it allows you to safely maneuver your vehicle without causing potential hazards. Making a U-turn or stopping and backtracking can lead to dangerous situations, as both actions are illegal and can result in serious accidents or traffic violations. Exiting at the nearest rest area is not necessarily a safe or logical option since it may not lead you back toward your desired route. Therefore, continuing to the next exit offers a controlled and safe way to reorient yourself and ultimately allow for a safe return to your intended path.
