Questions that are easy to get wrong
At an all-way stop, you and a car on your right come to a complete stop at the same time. What should you do?
- Go first because you are on the left
- Go first if you are driving straight
- Let the car on your right go first (Correct answer)
- Sound your horn and go together
Explanation: When two vehicles stop at an all-way stop at the same time, the vehicle on the left yields to the vehicle on the right.
At an all-way stop, you and a car on your LEFT stop at the same time. Who should yield?
- Whoever is going straight yields
- You yield to the car on your left
- The car on your left yields to you (Correct answer)
- Neither; both may go at once
Explanation: When two vehicles stop at the same time, the vehicle on the left yields to the one on the right, so you may go first. Still make sure the way is clear before you move.
Does turning on your signal give you the right-of-way?
- Yes, once you signal others must let you in
- No, you must still make sure the way is clear (Correct answer)
- Yes, if you signal for at least five seconds
- Yes, but only when changing lanes
Explanation: Signalling only tells others what you plan to do; it does not give you the right-of-way. Check that the way is clear before you move.
