- Hi, I'm Kendrick, your driving instructor.
On our channel we learn road rules, road signs.
Here you will find Practice tests, Road tests, Interactive driving tests, Diagnostic tests, traffic lights, how to yield.
All lessons and examples of traffic situations with cars and pedestrians, as well as road signs are presented according to the Laws and Rules of the Road and different state driver handbook.
For new drivers as well as experienced drivers, these videos are useful tools for understanding the process of getting a license and learning the rules of the road. Canada pls join my channel
All tests are based on facts from the official driver's manual. Tests include all U.S. states:
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
Number 1. The "Right Of Way Rule" applies to all three vehicles. Yellow is to the right of blue and blue is to the right of the truck. This rule is very important for unmarked intersections as displayed in this model.
I'm sorry but i'm confused. The video says yellow first and you say yellow first too because of the blue one being to it's right but isn't that the left from the yellow cars side?
@@flamestar557 What's so hard to understand about that? The red one wants to turn, so it is already out of the right of way. The yellow one is to the right of the blue one, so the yellow one has priority. After that, the blue one has priority over the turning vehicle. Simple, isn't it?
Yellow because the truck is turning to left

The rule rarely comes into play. Either because someone got there a little earlier, or someone THINKS they got there earlier, or if it's unclear then usually the most aggressive driver takes the intersection. Or the driver with right-of-way dithers and someone else goes. There's a very low probability that all 3 drivers know and respect the right-of-way.
The only problem I have with that is the problem that I have ALWAYS had with uncontrolled intersections. Even though I know exactly what I'm supposed to do, and I passed the driving test, I still have to rely on the other two drivers also knowing what they are supposed to do. I have to put my safety in the hands of others and trust that they will follow the rules. Given the number of morons driving on the roads today I'm not confident that I'd make it through the intersection without loss of property or life.
Exactly, you nailed it; this is the major problem we face inspite of how much safe we drive and follow the strict rules but we can't guarantee of others.
Amen to that. I always wave the other drivers on. No way I'm risking my life on the competence of other drivers.
That's why you let off the brake and slowly inch into the intersection to signal that you are going. If anyone else does the same thing, you can brake before hitting them and they should brake too. Since you aren't going very fast, there won't be much damage if they hit you and if they do, they're paying for the collision.
If there is a stalemate, just wave the other cars through. 99.99% of the time, this situation is just a waste of time, not a threat to your life or property.
Richard Mace : what you have mentioned is the main reason I gave up driving as soon as I retired. Never had a serious accident through out my many years driving all kind of vehicles, but now I'm too old and impatient with people who think that driving is a human right and not a privilege.
@@texasflood1295 No thanks.
Too many idiots out there. You may not be one of them but I have no way of knowing that.
I've almost been hit twice in the past month while walking in a crosswalk in broad daylight because people didn't feel like yielding properly. Hard pass.
I go by my own rule... 'When in doubt, wait it out'😄
the truck goes first because it's the biggest. then the cars can safely sort themselves out without being scared of being run over and dragged for an entire kilometer just because the trucker just found out none of his kids are his.
@@Amygondor that's not how it is doesn't matter if it's a truck and bigger one the car in yellow should go first and then blue one and then truck no matter what because if there is no signs and no traffic lights you always follow the rule of "the car on the right is always first" in this case the yellow car is on the right of the blue car and the blue car is on the right for the truck therefore yellow blue and last truck
@@supernoob1894 I don't think you understood the comment
@@Amygondorlol
@@supernoob1894 with that logic, you still get run over by the truck if the trucker just happened to find out none of his kids are his. let the big guy go through the intersection first just in case, then sort the right of way among equally-sized vehicles.
I've been driving 54 years and I did select 1) as my answer having remembered this rule my whole driving history. I often drive onto a interstate entrance ramp which at the half way point merges with vehicles coming from another direction into one single lane with both lanes displaying yield signs so always being in the left lane I obey the yield sign and give the same time right lane vehicle the right of way.
Should it be yellow first because if it a solid green and you make a turn in this case red you have to yield for the car going straight
So you're a bad driver
not sure ive ever seen a yield sign going onto an interstate, im assuming you mean two lanes of traffic merging then entering interstate, should only be one yield sign if any. unless you are in california of course, then all rules of the road are open. i still remember the old rule or law there about entering traffic from a side street or parking lot, count 5 cars going by then hit it you have the right of way
I never owned a car I don't drive but I knew it definitely was not the semi truck
It's number 1 it took me a second to figure this out right when the video started, it's the rules of the road
no, he's wrong. the biggest vehicle always goes first. you don't want a crazy trucker running you over because he just found out none of his kids are his.
@@Amygondor No , YOU are wrong. When it comes to determining who has the right of way when all vehicles reach an intersection at the same time it's whoever is on the right hand side and I pick number 1 because the yellow car has nobody to their right so they get to go first. It's not about which vehicle is bigger never have I seen that in the book, it's only if the vehicle is a police car, a firetruck, or an ambulance, etc. Besides, you didn't even pick an answer and type it in the comments anyways so stop trolling me👌
The fact that few people understand what Yield to the Right means, is the reason we have 4 stop signs at so many intersections. Which considering the way people drive around here, is not a bad idea.
The thought of this is wild to me. I don't live in a car-first country and even 10yos here know how yielding works and use traffic without issue or stop signs or lights.
Here's a better explanation with some common sense, a scientific approach, and part of New Jersey Statute rule that can back me up in some form...
First, the common sense....
All vehicles, no matter what the scenario is, must yield to those on the left. Firstly, because the right side is the blindside. If Entering onto a highway ? All vehicles most often enter from the right side and must yield to vehicles already on the highway (on the left)
UNIFORM means everything working in a similar fashion. What works in high-speed roads should follow down the line. Down to the stop. KISS. KEEPING IT SIMPLE & SMART!!
Therefore, in this scenario, the vehicle furthest to the right should yield to the vehicles on the left when at a stop The truck goes first, then blue YELLOW LAST.
Secondly, the truck turning can not possibly force the other vehicles to stop. The two vehicles that are NOT SIGNALING to turn will give the assumption or the impression of both vehicles going straight.
The straight path is the right of way. And yielding the right of way means you give up, forfeit the right.
Those vehicles moving forward in a straight path must yield to each other because Another situation to realize is...,both forward moving vehicles force each other to stop regardless, otherwise they will collide.
Also, if the truck is SIGNALING a turn ....then the truck has begun to stop long before approaching the intersection.
If we assume that the truck takes longer to stop because of the weight of the vehicle and cargo, then what if the truck has stopped first And is just watching to see what the other two cars are going to do?
Whoever stops first goes first. The straight path is the right of way, and both vehicles going straight must yield the right of way.
Therefore, it is evident that the two vehicles who have a straight path and have yielded to each other must also yield the right of way for the truck.
New Jersey Statute 39:4-90
The driver having so yielded, and having given a signal when and as required by law, may make the left turn; and other vehicles approaching the intersection from the opposite direction shall yield to the driver making the left turn.
Amended by L.1958, c. 114, p. 587, s. 1.
In Australia strangely enough, while driving on the left, we still observe the give way to the right rule so answer 1 here is the same. The blue car gives way to the right. The truck gives way both to the right and to oncoming traffic. We also have a terminating road rule for T junctions where we give way to both directions.
Same here in New Zealand.
@@richardvoogd705 -- and here in the UK.
@@keithterry2169 I'm not Englishman but " Who has priority at unmarked crossroads? According to rule 146 of the Highway Code, nobody has priority at an unmarked crossroads. They advise that while driving on side roads and country lanes, road users should look out for unmarked junctions where nobody has priority."
@@bobp7031Thats an unmarked intersection so vehicle on the right has priority here in Australia
I would call my state and local transportation department to add some stop signs.
Anyone with a license should know that the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way, however there should definitely be stop signs at least where the yellow car and truck are.
Most intersections in the US are controlled by either a traffic light or signs. When there is no control, I was taught to defer to whomever is on my right. With a four way intersection that has vehicles at three of the directions away from the intersection, which ever is the unoccupied side lets us determine which should go first. It should always be directly to the left of the unoccupied side.
It's an uncontrolled intersection. Yield to the vehicle on the right... in this case it should go, yellow, blue, then truck... Assuming they all got there at same time..
I always defer to the guy that looks like they are not going to stop
Thing is, no such stop would exist without at least a sign. Without a sign, traffic knows to just drive straight through. If both adjacent roadways have no sign, traffic wouldn't instinctively come to a stop at the intersection in the first place.
@Shin FTW It is an uncontrolled intersection.. Rural areas are full of them, most are gravel roads, but an uncontrolled intersection is a uncontrolled intersection...
Where I live, the rule is, when the traffic lighta are out, we treat it as a 4 way stop and the person on the right goes first, so I got this right off. Good to know but not everybody knows this, which can create confusion on the road, sometimes, I guess.
I got it this way:
Yellow car is in its own direction and the card should wait for it
Blue will intersect with yellow so wait for yellow
Truck needs to make a turn so incoming left lane and right lane (of blue) has to be empty so it waits for blue
If no stop signs or yield or lights or as you say traffic controllers then any vehicle should yield to who is approaching first and yield to oncoming traffic. This must be in a very rural area from another country other than U.S. but the blue car has the right of way considering it is not changing roads or crossing to another road and is traveling straight. It does not have to stop if it there are not signs . The yellow car is crossing the intersection and must yield. The truck driver will also need to yield to oncoming traffic from across it or on either side. Left turns always yield and have the last right of way unless turning under a green arrow or if it’s a 4 way stop sign then all participants take turns depending on who approached first. The person on the right has the right away if more than one are completely stopped at the stop sign at the exact time.
0:50 TK SAYS Option 1 because yellow will have to cover the least distance before providing clearance to blue to move. then blue moves. then, at last, the truck moves.
1. Yellow
2. Turquoise
3. Red
It's clockwise. I solved this task in a millisecond when I saw the thumbnail and thought there would be 20 more tests of that kind in that almost 3 minutes long video. But obviously some people need time ... much time ...
If this is in America, and they are driving on the RH side of the road, then the blue car has right of way because I imagine there in the US, you must give way to the left.
Here in Australia we drive on the left and you have to give way to the right in this situation, which of course does not exist.
All our intersections have signs indicating right of way.
The truck is crossing the path of the Yellow and the Yellow gives way to the left.
Blue first, Yellow next and truck last.
No matter which car has the right of way you still have to be cautious and GO SLOW. IF CAN give hand motions bcuz nowadays some people are in a hurry & I'm not trying to live risky
Been driving for 56 years and have never seen an " uncontrolled " intersection. Come to think of it even controlled intersections are uncontrolled these days.
I have never seen this type of intersection! Usually, either there is ALL WAY STOP SIGN,
OR regular stop sign,
Some say whoever stops first, goes first. In other cases, the faster. Yellow then blue then truck makes sense.
The yellow car first, then the blue and finally the truck.
Yeye. I got it right and lm an Aussie. Never been out of the country. 😂 Just thought it made sense.
It's calming that the traffic rules are almost the same as in Germany.
Got a bunch of these in Illinois, but 80% of drivers are A: Assholes that ignore the right of way or B: Don’t know the rules. Had to watch just to re-affirm that I remember the rule correctly since I’m always cut off by a left turner (sometimes while I’m in the middle of crossing the road!)
Give me a road intersection of this I want to see it on Google maps. Never seen anything like this. Either it is clear that one road has priority (such as one road is a highway, and the intersecting road is a sidestreet, so sidestreet always yields) or there are stop signs
In the U.K. it would be blue then an amicable eye contact/flashlight between yellow and red. If there wasn’t lights
Here in Australia we give way to those on our right (we drive on the left) I have no idea if this applies. But since there are no signs and no lines I would say yellow is right of blue and blue is to the right of truck. Nobody is to the right of yellow.
However in the real world where people do not always give way as they should, if that truck wanted through first you can bet I would be waiting on him because I would rather be wrong and alive then correct and dead.
“We are two wild and crazy guys!”
Right of way depends on who came to the stop first. That's what you're taught when going for your learner's permit. It has nothing to do with who's to the right of you. If two people come to a stop at the same time, one signals for the other to go first, not whoever is to the right of the other.
Why? Because what if 4 cars came to a stop at the same time, from all different directions. Each one is to the right of one of them. The "RIGHT of way" thing falls apart there.
The question is "Three vehicles are At an intersection. Who goes first?"
"At" = just there. Who came first, in this example is a moot point.
It's determined by the order in which the vehicles arrive at the intersection. Just be cautious in case someone is impatient.
We need to repeat this scenario, but with a 4 way (entrance) roundabout. There is a Car1 currently in the roundabout, having entered from Entrance 1. Car2 has approached and stopped at Entrance 2, waiting for Car1 to proceed through the roundabout. Car3 now approaches Entrance 1. What is the order of progress next?
1. Should Car2 proceed into the roundabout after Car1 passes, because he was the first car to arrive to the roundabout while Car1 was inside it?
2. Should Car3, despite being last to arrive to the circle, try to follow Car1 into the circle because they come from the same direction, causing Car2 to wait extra time?
America can't do uncontrolled intersections because the driving skills bar has to be set low because of our car-dependent culture. Therefore, the infrastructure has to be made overly simplistic to make it easy for the low skill level. If you don't have a car, you cannot participate in society, at least not easily. So, cars and licensing has to be made easy. I was stationed in Germany for six years, and this was one driving act that was emphasized to Americans because this is literally foreign to us. Germany, however, follows this MOST scrupulously.
I saw in one of the other comments a reference to the other drivers knowing whether or not that rule applies to such an intersection. That's exactly right. I see a few intersections in my immediate neighborhood that are uncontrolled, and as I drive-or, ride my bike-I cannot rely on the other driver having that knowledge. Worse than that, there is no apparent consistency, as the next intersection, maybe only yards away, IS controlled. There is no apparent rhyme or reason to the infrastructure.
Having been a truck driver for forty years, both military and civilian and having driven trucks in various places around the world, I have been analyzing why America's driving is so.....well, a lot of things, and not many of them good.
90% of US drivers, for one reason or another, should Not, at
any given moment, Be on the road. I am in the US, in St Louis.
I was taught the “whoever gets there first gets to go first” method when it comes to uncontrolled intersections
This question applies to uncontrolled and static stop sign intersections.
1: Yellow
2: Blue
3: Red
Nice I got it - now to actually remember things when on the road lol. The right of way is something I need to get better with memorizing but fortunately if they’re still doing the same courses at my local DMV, there’s not that many complex intersections.
Do you want to get in a wreck? You have to determine how crazy some are and how overly conservative some are.
Honestly in Miami is the first how get to the intersection/line is the one that goes first! 😂
The one on the right goes first, I have been driving for 51 years. A written driving test answer will be the one on the right goes first, that is if you live in the USA
It depends on who was there first, and who had a stop sign.
In Germany it would be answer 1 but it depends on the traffic signs
The same rule like in Poland. So the yellow car , then green car and last red truck
Got it correct!
Well I would say the blue one but with no signs or road markings it is very confusing.
In Poland it would be yellow, then blue, then truck. Because yellow has their right side clear, after it passes the blue has right side clear and the truck will always have yellow or blue on it's right side. However because it is about USA my guess is the truck goes first because its biggest and then blue and yellow go at the same time (they should make it if they start at exactly same time and go exactly same speed, right? The road is wide enough...). LOL
replace intersections with over-pass for safer road taffic
I'm in New Zealand and applied our rules here. Give way to your right, turning traffic must give way to all vehicles travelling straight. Turns out it's the same over there. Shouldn't the intersection have "Give Way" or "Yield" signs though?
Called right of way. Car on the right goes first
Yellow then blue ,then truck
Wow - surely there must be lots of accidents at these junctions? In the UK the road markings would generally tell you who has right of way at a crossroads if it is “unmanned” (no lights etc) and I think that is the same in the EU too
First Yellow، then blue finally truck
Yellow>blue>red.
Question: Who would be first if there was another car coming from top of the picture and turning left?
1.yellow, Blue, then truck.
I have been driving for 19 years and have never seen a 4 way intersection with no stop sign or light. ALSO, it really doesn’t matter if you know the right answer to this question because the majority of drivers won’t know it, and you can’t expect them to yield to you even if you have the right of way in this situation.
or you can educate those immediately around you, instead of adopting a completely defeatist attitude
@@pom791Not defeatist, just realistic. When you have been driving long enough, you will understand you cannot count on other drivers to always do the right thing. That is why in driving school they teach “defensive driving”. Unless you intend on amending the requirements for getting a DL in the USA to make the test more comprehensive, we will continue to have uneducated drivers. It is not realistic to hope they will all watch UA-cam videos on proper driving like you.
I was taught that if you want to stay alive, always yield to the bigger machine.
That is not following the rules, that is just paranoia.
Fast yellow car, second blue, red truck.
I got it right, but in the real world it's whoever starts slowly rolling forward, teasing their car into the intersection. Just let them go lol
My guess was 4.
EDIT: And I was wrong. I didn't know about that right-hand rule. I know that turning left must yield to someone ahead of you going straight. However, I did not know that right-hand rule.
Blue, truck and yellow
The one with the hardest looking dudes in it
There should be 4 stop signs there. Whoever got there first go first.
In the US this intersection would have at least two stop signs. I haver never encountered a completely uncontrolled intersection.
YELLOW, TRUCK, BLUE
Thanks for the lesson now I know better.
What I say is that the heavy waggon must pass first.
Well, you're wrong.
Correct answer....a crash right at that spot. 😢
Yellow, blue, semi. Easy. T.trucker
Yellow,truck, blue
what happens if there was a fourth vehicle coming from the right of the yellow car?
What if there is a fourth car also at the intersection - that is, a car to the right of the yellow car, all four cars at the same distance from the intersection? What rule, apples?? In practice, drivers usually make eye contact and pass or yield to each other. But what is the the rule?
1 yellow, blue,then truck
Answer is 1 yellow, blue then blue
If there was a roundabout, then this wouldnt be an issue.
Yellow , blue, then truck
Yellow truck blue im gonna geuss
Number 5: Turn it into a roundabout
Yellow, blue, red
1 is correct!
Blue, Yellow, Truck
I'm going with 1.
What if there is a 4th car coming from the yellow car's right, and all 3 arrive at the same time?
Yellow...Blue...Red
All stop and confer
To hard for the Government to install Stop signs I guess.
How about the one who stopped first!??
Right of way.
First off, where the hell are the stop signs? That road should not even be open traffic!
Yellow . Teals to right. Or your wrong.
Where are the STOP lines?
When four vehicles all arrive at the same time, the vehicle with the most front end damage always has the right of way as I see it.
yellow, blue, then truck
Most people can’t remember who the President is. Better put lights at this intersection or expect several wrecks per yr.
We all know Elon Musk is the president... Duh 🤦
Soros György van President
No one wants to remember the president 😂
The President doesn’t know he’s the President.
😂😂😂Agreed
I've been driving for 57 years and dozens of states. I have never come across a 4-way intersection with zero lanes of control.
These really exist. I’ve seen them in two states, but they aren’t common. Fun fact, these same rules apply at an intersection where every road entering has a stop sign.
Never heard of it either, 25 years driving
The maker of this video is an idiot out of Country foreigner don't listen. The correct answer is the truck goes christ and I'll tell you the empty lane Should be considered that it has been empty prior to any of the vehicles arriving, The empty lane comes first and therefore Into the right of the empty lane, the truck is at the right And therefore that truck goes first
You need to travel more...have you been to Africa?
Uncontrolled like this is just a 4 way stop sign, or when the traffic lights are out in a controlled intersection.
Speaking as the pedestrian in this scenario: there is no way to predict what any of the vehicles will choose to do or when they'll change their minds. Wait for all three to get out, even if they've stopped. And consider moving away from the intersection before crossing to reduce the number of directions a car might approach from.
I thought it was common knowledge that in the U.S, the car to your right goes first if you both arrive at the intersection at the same time.
I thought so, If you are on the blue car and on your right side yellow car is not around, you may pass first
Such rules apply at 4-way stops in some States, but not in all States. At controlled intersections, different rules may apply. In some States, at controlled intersections, the first to arrive gets priority. In other States, a car on the right may get priority even if it does not arrive first.
In my country 🇿🇦 the car on your right has right of way....so yellow, blue then truck.....
It is common knowledge. Right of way is whoever is on the right gets to go. This is the most common accident foreigners cause.
I have no problem admitting I was never taught this and it wasn't on my drivers test 20 years ago so this is the first time I've ever heard that. I never had to take drivers ed and I feel like I missed out on learning some important things. Most people don't get to the light at the exact same moment so I just wait until everyone that was (or may have) been there noticeably first. I've never had any issues with it. But it's good to learn the right way.
Yeah and when I get to an intersection and wait for the driver on the right to go and they NEVER GO! so when I wait for left to see if they will go, they don’t go. I wait until the right goes but they won’t. So when I go everyone starts driving at the exact time I start driving 🤦♀️
lol😀
Reason for the right rule is because the rightmost car clears the intersection the fastest. Yellow car moves 1/2 way cross then the Blue can start. If the blue starts it must cross two lanes before yellow can go. Left turns always have the last right of way. That is how it should be, in practice another story.
Perfect indication you
Are being impatient.
Saying they never
Go but you end up
Going at the same time.
Once everyone is totally stopped that prettymuch takes safety out of the equation. Two vehicles starting from a dead stop are unlikely to actually hit each other. If the right of way car does not go, then I will. But carefully and ready to pounce on the brakes if necessary. If that makes me impatient, so be it.
@@alb12345672 It doesn't really matter which car is turning left. If the yellow car was turning left, it would still go first. The only difference is if the yellow car and truck want to do the same thing, the truck can go at the same time as the yellow car.
The rule is based on nautical rules of the road where you always yield to the vessel on your right if you are equal priority (priority based on type of vessel or activity - sailing ship, trawler, ect.).
1, it's one of the first things you learn even before being allowed to drive on your own. It's also the one most drivers ignore and leads to many avoidable accidents.
Drivers of US today is even competing with pedestrians on the right crossing the street on crosswalk with traffic light for pedestrians on, not to mention this right law.
Honestly, I've never seen or heard of an intersection without at least a stop sign on 2 of the 4 streets. 🤷♀
My dad taught me "The one on the RIGHT of you goes first". So this was easy. Been driving 57 years and I still have to wave at drivers to my right to go. To make it easy for them, I try to allow the car approaching on the right to reach the intersection first, so they can guess that they should proceed before me. It is still a chore as most drivers seem to be unaware of this test. The 'roundabouts' seem to help a little, so maybe there is hope.
How does that work though if there are 4 cars? Everyone is at the right of each other.
@@tinytownsoftware3837 Assuming the possibility that ALL 4 cars arrive at the exact same time, I would think that hand signals would be required as they each proceed with extreme caution. Otherwise, the car that arrives LAST means that the car to their LEFT would be the first to go. Often times if cars are going straight, the first one and the third one go at the same time since they are going thru the intersection at the same time in opposite directions. Just what I would expect, but use your own judgement.
Do they not teach this everywhere in the world? Here in Europe it's the most common basic thing to learn. I still don't trust others and approach cautiously though.
Sadly enough owning the driver's license is not viewed as a privilegy, but as a right instead. Lot of people just don't have the skill and judgment to be a driver, but they are...
@@tinytownsoftware3837 "JustTheTruth" has answered correctly, HOWEVER, the chances of ALL 4 cars arriving at the same time are indeed remote. So, WHO arrive first has the "right' to proceed first ....but yet AGAIN ....EVERY RULE is subject to EVERYONE FOLLOWING THE RULES ....and herein lies the problem ....."LOGICAL THINKING AND COMMON SENSE" are of no interest to many drivers ....as such ....YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DRIVE DEFENSIVELY.
Apart from the rule of yielding to the driver on the right, there is another rule that is in play here and that is "ownership of the lane". Both cars have "ownership of the lane" because they are going straight through.
Because the truck is turning, the truck "DOES NOT HAVE OWNERSHIP OF THE LANE" because it is going to leave it's lane and "CROSS" the yellow car's lane in order to turn, hence the yellow car "has ownership of the lane" and "right-of-way" of this lane. This rule does not come into play in this one example, but it does reinforce what the truck must do, in the event the blue car is not there.
.
I am 53 years old so I have been driving here in the US for almost 38 years. While I have heard the phrase "right of way" I just thought that meant who had the "right" legally to go. I have never heard about the car on the right having the "right of way" (maybe I learned it but forgot). But I also am not sure how many times I have ever come across an intersection with no controls such as signs or lights either.
It's clear here in Hungary. Simple "right-hand rule". The one to my right has the right, and the one who goes straight has the advantage over the one who turns.That's why:the yellow car is on the right, and it's going straight, it's going first. The blue car is to the right of the truck, it is also going straight, and finally the truck, who has been on the "left"side throughout the entire lineup,plus turns, starts last.
The rule is even easier to understand if you look at the truck turning left. After half of the turn, the yellow car will be on the right hand side, therefore has priority.
@@Corksy if it was just the yellow car and the truck, then we have the rule: go straight, turn right, turn left. So, if there is no other way to decide, then this is the order, from the point of view of giving priority. First, the right hand rule lives, second, the rule of the turn order.
@@orsolyakolozsne5008 In that case it's even easier, once the truck have made his turn he will have yellow on the right, and have to yield.
Exactly
sush, this are americans, they dont even know how to do roundabouts theres a video on youtube of them going on the wrong way some even go trough the roundabout, 🤣
Luckily, where I live there seems to be a light or stop sign on pretty much every intersection. While I've always followed the "driver on the right has the right of way" rule, I also always start crossing the intersection slowly if I have the right of way, just to make sure the other drivers passed their driver tests as well 😁
Similar in the UK...every such junction has at least one of the roads at any junction has a minimum of "Stop" or "Give Way" signs and road markings.
The set-up in the video is asking for collisions to happen...this would not happen in the UK.
@@AtomicExtremophile Nor anywhere in the USA that I'm aware of. That type of intersection is typically a 4 way stop sign or a 2 way stop sign.
@@AtomicExtremophile Like Percy said, I have never seen a 4 way intersection without signs but I've only driven up and down the east coast.
Good grief
The defensive driving answer differs from the textbook answer. Slowly start with the correct approach, but be ready to yield to others following the incorrect approach.
Fascinating. I got the right answer though I didn't actually know the reasoning, just intuition I guess. I was probably taught this rule of the road way back when I got my license but in 23 years of driving in Alabama I've never once seen any intersection without either a light or a stop sign. Given how most people around here drive it's probably a safety thing lol.
Same, 20+ years driving in Georgia and have yet to come across unregulated intersection 🤔
I live in Alabama too and it has been hard teaching my teen son the nuances of driving for ruls that are not spelled out.
