Practice question

When two vehicles approach an uncontrolled, four way intersection at the same time, what action should you take?

  1. Take the right-of-way and drive through
  2. Speed up and pass the other vehicle
  3. Wait for the other vehicle to proceed
  4. Honk your horn to warn the other driver

Answer: C — Wait for the other vehicle to proceed

When two vehicles approach an uncontrolled, four way intersection at the same time, it is important to wait for the other vehicle to proceed. The other options are incorrect because A: Taking the right-of-way and driving through could result in a collision if the other vehicle also decides to take the right-of-way. B: Speeding up and passing the other vehicle would be unsafe and could lead to a potential accident. D: Honking your horn might not be enough to ensure the other driver is aware of the situation and could also lead to confusion or frustration.
