Who has right-of-way?

Question

Let's say you come upon a four-way intersection without traffic lights. You arrive at the intersection at the same time an oncoming car does. The oncoming car wants to make a left turn while you want to go straight. Who goes first?

Answer 1

The person going straight has the right of way.  The person turning left has to yield to the person going straight.

Answer 2

The person going straight through.  Though in the real world, the person with the biggest nerve/balls.

Answer 3

At least in California, where I live, there is no such thing as "having right-of-way". In this case, the car turning would be required to yield right of way to the car going straight. But the car going straight doesn't have any "right-of-way". There is no such thing as "having right-of-way". At least, this is the case in most jurisdictions.

Answer 4

The person going straight definitely has the right of way.

Answer 5

Answer 6

The person going straight.

the person making a turn always have to yield.

good luck...

Answer 7

I would say the car going straight but it's better to yield to the other driver and see what they do. Just be careful when you make a move. Since it's a 4 way stop, it almost doesn't matter. Just be defensive. When in doubt let the other driver go first.
