Question

Difficulty: EasyRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

When two vehicles arrive at an uncontrolled intersection at the exact same time, the vehicle on the left has the right-of-way over the vehicle on the right.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False. When two vehicles arrive simultaneously at an uncontrolled intersection, the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right.
The correct response is False because under standard DMV rules, when two vehicles reach an uncontrolled intersection simultaneously, the driver on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the intersection control and vehicle arrival conditions.
The scenario presents an uncontrolled intersection (no traffic signals or stop signs) where two vehicles arrive at the exact same time.
Determining the presence of control devices and timing determines which right-of-way rule applies.
2
Apply the standard right-of-way yield rule for simultaneous arrival.
The driver of the vehicle on the left must yield to the driver of the vehicle on the right.
Traffic laws establish the 'right-hand rule' to establish a clear order of movement and prevent collisions.
