Question Analysis
This question tests the 'right-of-way at an uncontrolled intersection' rule from the Texas Driver Handbook. When two vehicles reach an intersection at approximately the same time and there are no signs, signals, or pavement markings to determine who goes first, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right. This is commonly called the 'yield to the right' rule and is designed to prevent collisions by giving one driver a clear priority.
Correct Answer Analysis
Correct Answer: The car approaching from the right has the right-of-way.
The correct answer is 'The car approaching from the right has the right-of-way.' Under Texas law and the Texas Driver Handbook, at an uncontrolled intersection where two vehicles arrive at the same time, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way. The driver on the left must yield and allow the vehicle on the right to proceed first.
Wrong Options Analysis
Option: The car approaching from the left has the right-of-way.
This is incorrect because it reverses the actual rule. The car on the left must yield to the car on the right, not the other way around.
Option: The car in which the driver sounds his horn first has the right-of-way.
This is incorrect because sounding a horn does not grant right-of-way. Horns are used to warn others, not to claim priority at an intersection.
Option: The car that is traveling the fastest has the right-of-way.
This is incorrect because speed does not determine right-of-way. Right-of-way is based on traffic rules, not on how fast a vehicle is moving.
