North Carolina DMV Practice Exam

In the scenario of a 4-way stop where multiple vehicles approach at the same time, the rules of yielding establish that drivers must yield to the vehicles on their right if they arrive simultaneously. In this case, since Cars A and B both intend to go straight, they are not required to yield to each other. Car D, which wants to turn right, must yield to both Cars A and B because they are traveling straight and are already effectively ahead in the intersection. When turning right at a stop, the driver must always yield to any oncoming traffic and vehicles moving straight through the intersection regardless of the turn. Therefore, since Car D has a turning maneuver that involves crossing the paths of Cars A and B, it must yield in this situation. This understanding of traffic flow and the rules regarding yielding at intersections reveals why Car D is the one that must yield their right of way in this particular set of circumstances.
