Delaware Driver Education State Practice Test

In situations where two vehicles arrive at an intersection simultaneously, the standard rule of right of way dictates that the vehicle going straight has priority over those making turns. Therefore, at a four-lane intersection, if one vehicle is turning left and the other is going straight, the vehicle proceeding straight has the right of way. Oncoming vehicles can also influence right of way decisions, particularly if they are moving towards the intersection at the same time. However, this does not apply when both drivers are already at the intersection. The right of way is designed to prevent confusion and minimize the risk of accidents. Larger vehicles do not automatically receive the right of way under this rule, and the determination is based more on the direction of travel rather than the size of the vehicles. It's important to always yield to oncoming traffic if you're turning left across lanes, but since both vehicles are arriving at the same time and one is going straight, the straight-moving vehicle retains the right of way.
