Passing target: 80% (32/40)
You and one other driver stop at a four-way stop at the same time. The other car is on your left. Both of you plan to go straight. Who should go first?
A and B stopped at the same time. B is on A’s left; both will go straight. The stopped vehicles have no priority highlight or movement path.
Correct answer: You, because the driver on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right
Why
At a four-way stop, the order of arrival decides who goes first, and the yield-to-the-right rule breaks a tie. The same rule applies when a traffic signal is dark: treat the intersection like a four-way stop and yield to traffic on your right. Right-of-way tells you who must yield, but it does not guarantee that others will, so be ready to stop.
