Two vehicles arrive together at an unsigned intersection. Who yields?

The driver on the left yields to the right.

  1. The driver on the right
  2. The driver on the left ✔
  3. Whichever driver is turning

Why: When arrival is simultaneous, let the road user on your right go first. This rule also applies at an all-way stop after everyone stops.

Huh, didn't know that: The rule covers pedestrians and bicyclists on your right too, not just cars.

The dad joke
Why was the right lane confident? It knew it was right.
