Practice question

At an intersection, which vehicle has the right-of-way?

  1. The vehicle on the left
  2. The vehicle on the right
  3. All vehicles have the same right-of-way
  4. The largest vehicle

Answer: B — The vehicle on the right

In general, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way at an intersection. This is because the driver of the vehicle on the right is able to see the oncoming traffic and make a safe decision to proceed. The vehicle on the left may not have the same visibility and could potentially cause an accident if they proceed first. While it's important to yield to larger vehicles, this is not the deciding factor for right-of-way at an intersection. Additionally, giving all vehicles the same right-of-way could result in confusion and potential accidents. Ultimately, it's safest and most efficient for the vehicle on the right to have the right-of-way.
