Practice question

When two vehicles arrive at an intersection simultaneously, who is typically required to yield the right of way?

  1. The person in the larger vehicle
  2. The person on the right
  3. The person on the left
  4. The person with the loudest horn

Answer: C — The person on the left

When two vehicles arrive at an intersection simultaneously, the general rule is for the person on the left to yield the right of way to the person on the right. This principle is known as the "right-of-way rule" and helps to provide a clear and consistent method for determining which vehicle should proceed first in situations where there is no other traffic control in place. This rule is designed to promote smooth and orderly traffic flow and reduce the likelihood of accidents by establishing a standard procedure for resolving these types of scenarios.
