What should a driver do if they miss their exit on the highway?

When a driver misses their exit on the highway, the appropriate action is to continue driving to the next exit. This is important for several reasons:

First, attempting to reverse back to the missed exit can create a dangerous situation, as it puts the vehicle in a position that is not only illegal but also potentially life-threatening, as reversing on a busy highway can lead to accidents.

Making a U-turn at the nearest opportunity is also unsafe and typically prohibited on highways, where U-turns can cause confusion and result in collisions with other vehicles.

Stopping on the highway to assess the situation is not advisable as it can create a hazard for both the driver and other vehicles on the road.

By continuing to the next exit, the driver can safely and legally navigate to an area where they can turn around or find another route without risking their safety or the safety of others. This practice is reflective of proper highway driving etiquette and safety protocols.
