At an uncontrolled intersection, if two vehicles arrive at the same time, which vehicle has the right-of-way?

  1. The vehicle that arrived first

  2. The vehicle on the left

  3. The vehicle on the right

  4. The larger vehicle

The correct answer is: The vehicle on the right

At an uncontrolled intersection, when two vehicles arrive simultaneously, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way. This rule is part of the standard traffic laws and is designed to reduce confusion and potential accidents at intersections where there are no traffic signals or signs to direct traffic. The reasoning behind giving precedence to the vehicle on the right is based on creating a predictable flow of traffic. When drivers know that they must yield to vehicles on their right, it helps maintain order and enhances safety, as drivers can anticipate the actions of others more easily. This rule applies universally, making it essential for all drivers to understand and adhere to it when navigating uncontrolled intersections.
