At an uncontrolled intersection, who has the right of way if you reach the intersection at the same time as the vehicle on your right?

• A. The vehicle on the right.
• B. The driver going straight has priority.
• C. The driver on your left has priority.
• D. Both may enter the intersection together with caution.

Answer: (A)

At uncontrolled intersections, there are no signals dictating who goes first. The driver on your right has the right-of-way. So if you and the vehicle to your right reach the intersection at the same time, you must yield to that vehicle and wait until they’ve cleared the intersection before proceeding. This rule applies regardless of whether someone is going straight or turning. The other options don’t fit because there isn’t automatic priority for straight-through traffic, nor should you assume you can enter together with caution. Signal your intent, check for a safe gap, make eye contact if possible, and proceed only when it’s safe.
