Your light turns green, and you begin to move toward the intersection. A car on the cross street comes fast toward its red light and does not seem to slow down. What should you do?
A begins to move toward the intersection as its signal turns green. B approaches from the upper cross street under red; the card states that B is coming fast without slowing.
Correct answer: Stop and let the car go through, even though you have the right-of-way.
Why
Right-of-way rules tell drivers who should yield, but they cannot force anyone to obey. The New York manual tells you not to think of the right-of-way as a complete right and to be ready to yield to other road users. Before you enter an intersection on a green light, look both ways for drivers who may run the red light.
