Question Analysis
This question tests the right-of-way rule for two vehicles arriving at an intersection from different highways at the same time. The Texas Driver Handbook states that when two vehicles enter an intersection from different highways at the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right. This rule helps prevent collisions by establishing a clear priority when neither driver has a traffic signal or sign controlling the intersection.
Correct Answer Analysis
Correct Answer: The vehicle on the left
The vehicle on the left must yield because Texas law gives the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right when two vehicles reach an intersection from different highways at the same time. This is a standard 'yield to the right' rule that applies at uncontrolled intersections.
Wrong Options Analysis
Option: Either one
This is incorrect because the law does not leave the decision to either driver; it specifically assigns the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right, so the vehicle on the left must yield.
Option: The vehicle on the right
This is incorrect because the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way and does not need to yield. The vehicle on the left is the one required to yield.
Option: Neither
This is incorrect because one vehicle must yield to avoid a collision. Texas law clearly states that the vehicle on the left must yield, so it is not a situation where neither yields.
