Two cars arrive at an intersection at around the same time. Which of the following is true?

• A. Car B has the right of way
• B. Neither car yields the right of way
• C. Car A must yield to its right
• D. Both cars go at the same time

Answer: (C)

At an intersection without signals or signs, you yield to the vehicle on your right. When two cars arrive at roughly the same time, the driver on the left must wait for the driver on the right, so the car on the right goes first. That’s why the correct behavior is for the left-side car to yield to its right. The other ideas—someone else has the right of way regardless of position, or both go at the same time—don’t fit the standard rule and can lead to a crash.
