Texas Driver's License Knowledge TestRight-of-WayEasy
When approaching an uncontrolled intersection where two vehicles arrive at approximately the same time, which driver must yield the right-of-way?
- AThe driver traveling at a higher speed.
- BThe driver in the larger vehicle.
- CThe driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right.
- DThe driver who signals first.
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. The driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right.
At uncontrolled intersections, the general rule is that the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right to prevent collisions and ensure orderly traffic flow.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Speed does not determine right-of-way at an uncontrolled intersection.
- B. Vehicle size has no bearing on right-of-way rules.
- D. Signaling indicates intent but does not grant right-of-way.
Uncontrolled Intersection Right-of-Way
At an intersection without signs or signals, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right if both arrive at roughly the same time.
- Applies when no traffic control devices are present.
- Ensures one vehicle proceeds safely before the other.
- Prevents confusion and potential collisions.
Memory trick: Left yields to right, like reading a book.
