When two vehicles arrive simultaneously at an intersection from opposite directions and one driver intends to turn left while the other intends to proceed straight, the driver turning left has the right-of-way.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is false. The driver turning left must yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic proceeding straight.
The statement is false. Standard traffic laws require drivers turning left across traffic to yield to all oncoming vehicles that are traveling straight or making a right turn.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the relative positions and planned movements of the vehicles at the intersection.
Two vehicles are positioned opposite each other; one is turning left across oncoming traffic and the other is traveling straight through.
Right-of-way precedence depends on vehicle direction and planned maneuvers when arrival timing is simultaneous.
2
Apply standard traffic law right-of-way rules for opposing traffic.
Traffic making a left turn must yield to oncoming vehicles moving straight or turning right.
Making a left turn requires crossing the lane of oncoming traffic, placing the burden of yielding on the turning driver to ensure safety.
