Answer 2

Hi!

The general rules of thumb on the road are:
1. The straight-of-way always has the right-of-way. If you are turning, merging, or entering a street from a lot, on-ramp, side street, or intersection, the drivers on the street or lane you are entering have the right-of-way.
2. The right-turning lane can enter an intersection against a red light if the driver first comes to a complete stop, and observes that there is no traffic coming toward him from either direction at a distance or speed that would force the straight-of-way driver to brake or swerve to avoid hitting you.
2. If two drivers are making right turns from opposing lanes into the same straight-of-way, then the same rules as a four-way stop apply, meaning, the first driver to come to a *complete* standing stop, is the first to make their turn onto the straight-of-way.
3. You cannot make a left turn into a straight-of-way against a light, regardless, unless a legitimate DOT/DOPS sign is present and states otherwise. When a traffic signal or stop sign are not present, the person going straight goes first, the person turning right goes next, and the person turning left goes last.
4. Finally, the right-of-way in any scenario will always go to an ambulance, fire truck, or police officer with their lights flashing, and you must come to a complete stop and wait if you are going around a school bus that has it's stop/caution sign extended. You may not proceed before this sign is retracted. At a four-way stop, or where there are no traffic signals or signs, a Postal Services vehicle or a funeral procession, have the first right-of-way.

Answer 3

The one who's either first or the closest. If one is leading slightly but turning would cause it to be in the path of the following car, the following one then has the right of way. In short, don't pull in front of someone else even though there are rectums out there that pass you and then immediately pull in front of you to exit the highway. Those are the kind of people that sooner or later will find themselves being pounded on in Wal Mart's parking lot by the big ugly guy with the hairy back wearing a sweaty tank top whom they just cut off. Those are the really fortunate ones, the unlucky ones are shot by someone with road rage and don't live to tell about it.

Answer 4

Let's see, if they are going in opposite directions the one turning right. If a four lane high way and both are traveling in the same direction the car on the right has the right of way.
If you must turn left it is your responsiblity to merge into traffic and make your turn.

Answer 5

Generally speaking, the person in the left lane of the divided highway has the right of way unless otherwise posted....the person in the right lane should yield.

Answer 6

Are they going the same way or opposite directions.
Same way the one on the right.
Opposite directions the one making a right hand turn.
