When two vehicles enter or approach an intersection at approximately the same time and there are no traffic signs or signals, who has the right of way?

  1. The vehicle on the left

  2. The vehicle in a hurry

  3. The vehicle that is to the front

  4. The vehicle that is to the right

The correct answer is: The vehicle that is to the right

In this scenario, when two vehicles enter or approach an intersection at roughly the same time and there are no traffic signs or signals present, the vehicle that is to the right has the right of way. This is known as the "right-of-way rule," where the driver on the right has the privilege to proceed first when two vehicles arrive at an intersection simultaneously. This rule helps in promoting smooth traffic flow and reducing the risk of accidents by providing a clear method for determining which vehicle should proceed first.
