When arriving to an uncontrolled intersection at the same time as vehicles to your right and left, you should:
- Yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on your left.
- Yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on your right. ✓
- Wait until there are no vehicles at the intersection before proceeding.
Answer: B. Yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on your right.
You should yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on your right.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says that at an uncontrolled intersection, the vehicle that arrives first has the right-of-way. When you and another vehicle get there at the same time, you give the right-of-way to the vehicle on your right. That rule applies whether the other vehicle is on your right or your left; the one on your right goes first.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on your left. — Yielding to the vehicle on your left reverses the handbook rule for a same-time arrival, which gives priority to the vehicle on your right.
- C. Wait until there are no vehicles at the intersection before proceeding. — Waiting until there are no vehicles is not the rule; the handbook uses first arrival and, on a tie, gives the right-of-way to the vehicle on your right.
Remember it
At a tie, look to your right: that driver goes before you.
