What should you do if you miss your exit on a highway?

  1. Reverse and backtrack to the missed exit.

  2. Stop in the emergency lane and wait for assistance.

  3. Continue to the next exit and find an alternative route.

  4. Make a U-turn at the first opportunity to go back to the exit.

The correct answer is: Continue to the next exit and find an alternative route.

Missing an exit on the highway can be frustrating, but it's important to stay calm and take the appropriate action. Option A, reversing and backtracking to the missed exit, is extremely unsafe and illegal. Option B, stopping in the emergency lane and waiting for assistance, is also not recommended as it can put you and other drivers in danger. Option D, making a U-turn, can also be dangerous and risky. The best course of action is to continue to the next exit and find an alternative route. This will ensure your safety and the safety of other drivers on the highway.
