What should you do if you are approaching an uncontrolled intersection?

Maintain your speed and continue driving.
Slow down and yield the right-of-way to vehicles on the right.
Stop and wait for vehicles on the left to clear the intersection.
Honk your horn to alert other drivers of your presence.

The correct answer is: Slow down and yield the right-of-way to vehicles on the right.

Approaching an uncontrolled intersection means that there are no traffic signals or signs to guide drivers on who has the right-of-way. This can be dangerous, as drivers may assume they have the right-of-way and cause accidents. Option A is incorrect because maintaining speed can be dangerous if there are other vehicles present. Option C is also incorrect because waiting for vehicles on the left to clear the intersection can cause delays and is not a safe approach. Option D is incorrect because honking your horn is not the appropriate action to take when approaching an uncontrolled intersection. The best course of action is to slow down and yield the right-of-way to vehicles on the right, ensuring a safe and smooth flow of traffic.
