When two vehicles reach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time, which one has the right of way?

  1. The vehicle on the left

  2. The larger vehicle

  3. The vehicle going straight

  4. The vehicle on the right

The correct answer is: The vehicle on the left

At an uncontrolled intersection, neither vehicle has a designated right of way. Instead, the general rule is that the vehicle on the left yields to the vehicle on the right. This allows for smoother and more predictable traffic flow. While the size of a vehicle may seem like it should give it priority, this is not the case at an uncontrolled intersection. Similarly, the direction a vehicle is traveling (straight or turning) does not determine right of way. Therefore, the vehicle on the left has the responsibility to yield in this situation.
