When two vehicles approach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time, the right-of-way is given to the vehicle___

• A. The vehicle on the right
• B. The vehicle on the left
• C. Whichever driver is faster
• D. The vehicle that honks first

Answer: (A)

At an intersection without traffic signals or signs, there’s no device telling who goes first. When two vehicles reach it at about the same time, you yield to the vehicle on your right. This rule keeps things predictable and reduces the chance of a collision because each driver has a clear reference point for who should proceed first. So the vehicle on the right goes first, and the driver on the left should wait until the path is clear. Speed or honking aren’t deciding factors here, and simply being faster or louder doesn’t grant priority. If you arrive at different times, the one who gets there first goes first; at the same time, follow the right-hand rule and proceed with caution.
