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

When a driver misses their intended exit on a highway, the correct action is to continue to the next exit rather than attempting to reverse or make a U-turn. Highways are designed for high-speed travel, and reversing back to an exit can create a serious hazard for both the driver and other road users. Similarly, making a U-turn on a highway is extremely dangerous and generally illegal, as it can lead to collisions with other vehicles traveling at high speeds. Stopping to ask for directions is impractical and unsafe on a busy highway where stopping is not allowed, and could greatly increase the risk of an accident.

Proceeding to the next exit allows the driver to safely navigate back to their desired route without disrupting the flow of traffic, ensuring both their safety and that of others on the road. After exiting, the driver can then find a safe way to return to the intended route, either by using local roads or another access point. This approach promotes safe driving practices and complies with traffic regulations.
