Question

the following right-of-way rules apply at intersections:....

• drivers turning left must yield to oncoming vehicles going straight.
• at a four-way stop, the driver reaching the intersection first may proceed before the other drivers (after coming to a complete stop).
• drivers entering a road from a driveway, alley, or roadside must yield to vehicles already on the main road.
• at an intersection where there is no stop sign or traffic signal (with the exception of roundabouts), drivers must yield to vehicles coming from the right.

according to this passage, what should a driver do when reaching a four-way stop at the same time as another driver?

• wait for all other drivers to proceed
• roll through the intersection slowly
• assume the right-of-way and proceed
• yield to the driver approaching on the right

Explanation:

To solve this, we refer to the right - of - way rules provided. The rule for a four - way stop when drivers reach at the same time (or when considering the right - of - way in such a situation) is that a driver should yield to the driver approaching on the right. Let's analyze the other options:

• "Wait for all other drivers to proceed" is incorrect as the rule doesn't state this.
• "Roll through the intersection slowly" is wrong because at a four - way stop, drivers must come to a complete stop.
• "Assume the right - of - way and proceed" is incorrect as the rule about yielding to the right - hand driver (in relevant intersection scenarios) or the first - to - stop rule (but when arriving at the same time, the yield to the right rule applies) shows that one can't just assume the right - of - way.

Answer:

D. yield to the driver approaching on the right
