At an intersection with stop signs on all corners, yield the right-of-way to any driver:
- On your left.
- Who arrived before you. ✓
- Across from your vehicle.
Answer: B. Who arrived before you.
At a four-way stop, yield the right-of-way to any driver who arrived before you.
Why this is the answer
At a four-way stop, the car that got there first goes first. After stopping, you yield to any driver who arrived before you. If you and another driver arrive at the same moment, the handbook gives the right-of-way to the vehicle on your right. The stop signs on all corners do not change that order; they just require every vehicle to stop first.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. On your left. — A driver on your left does not automatically get priority; when two vehicles arrive together, the rule points to the driver on your right.
- C. Across from your vehicle. — A vehicle directly across from you is not first merely because it faces you; what matters is who arrived first, with the right-side rule for a tie.
Remember it
At a four-way stop, count arrival order first; use the right-side tiebreaker only when two cars got there together.
