Practice question

Who has the right of way at an uncontrolled intersection?

  1. Drivers on the left
  2. Drivers without signals
  3. Drivers who arrived first
  4. Drivers on the right

Answer: C — Drivers who arrived first

At an uncontrolled intersection, there are no traffic signals or signs giving instructions for drivers to follow. This means that drivers must use caution and yield to other vehicles as necessary. In this scenario, the driver who arrived at the intersection first would have the right of way. This is because they have already entered the intersection and established their position. Option A is incorrect because drivers on the left do not have the right of way unless there is a specific traffic signal or sign indicating so. Option B is incorrect because all drivers must still follow traffic laws and yield to the right of way rules. Option D is incorrect because there is no set rule for drivers on the right to have the right of way at an uncontrolled intersection.
