At an uncontrolled intersection, who has the right of way?

• A. The vehicle on the right.
• B. The vehicle going straight has priority.
• C. The largest vehicle has priority.
• D. The vehicle that arrives first has no priority.

Answer: (A)

At an uncontrolled intersection with no signs or signals, the driver on your right has the right of way. This means if you and another vehicle arrive at about the same time from different directions, you should yield to the vehicle on your right and proceed only when it’s safe. If you arrive first, you may go first, as long as you can do so safely. This rule isn’t about straight-versus-turning traffic or about vehicle size; those factors don’t grant priority.
