At an intersection with no signals where two vehicles arrive at the same time, which statement best describes the right of way?

• A. The driver on the right has the right of way
• B. The passenger on the left has the right of way
• C. Both vehicles proceed at the same time if it’s safe
• D. The vehicle on the left yields to the vehicle on the right

Answer: (A)

When two vehicles arrive at an intersection with no signals at the same time, the driver on the right has the right of way. This rule keeps traffic moving safely by giving priority to the vehicle approaching from the other direction’s right side, so the driver on the right goes first and the left yields. The other ideas don’t fit as well: a passenger on the left isn’t a factor in determining right of way, and while some may say both could go if it’s safe, that isn’t the standard practice when arriving simultaneously. The simplest, most accurate takeaway is that the driver on the right goes first.
