Practice question

When two vehicles reach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time, who has the right-of-way?

  1. The vehicle to the right
  2. The vehicle on the left
  3. The larger vehicle
  4. No vehicle has the right-of-way

Answer: D — No vehicle has the right-of-way

When two vehicles reach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time, there is no right-of-way assigned to either vehicle. This is because an uncontrolled intersection does not have traffic signals or stop signs to direct the flow of traffic. In this scenario, both vehicles must proceed with caution and yield to any vehicles already in the intersection. None of the other options (A The vehicle to the right, B: The vehicle on the left, or C: The larger vehicle) have the right-of-way in this situation. These scenarios only apply when approaching a controlled intersection or when there is a yield or stop sign present.
