The blue car, the yellow car and the truck in the picture all reach the intersection at once. Who goes first, second and third?

Correct answer: Yellow car first, blue car second, truck third.

Answer options

  1. ABlue car first, yellow car second, truck third
  2. BYellow car first, blue car second, truck third Correct
  3. CTruck first, blue car second, yellow car third

Why

When drivers arrive together, each yields to the vehicle on the right, and a driver turning left must also wait for oncoming traffic. Nobody is to the yellow car's right, so it leads; the blue car has the yellow car on its right and goes next; the truck is turning left in front of the oncoming yellow car and has the blue car on its right, so it goes last.

Tip Where no signs or signals control an intersection, a driver turning left must wait for oncoming vehicles that are going straight or turning right.
