emergencies
At an intersection, which vehicle should you yield to when it arrived before you?
- The vehicle already at or arriving before you
- The vehicle that is traveling fastest
- The vehicle with the newest license plate
- The vehicle approaching from behind you
Answer: The vehicle already at or arriving before you. Maryland's right-of-way guidance gives priority to the driver who is at or arrives before you at an intersection. Yield means let that vehicle move ahead or cross before you proceed. Speed, plate age, and a vehicle behind you do not determine this particular priority. Even with a rule in your favor, keep checking the whole intersection because another road user may act unexpectedly. A simple arrival-order cue helps: if the other vehicle got there first, wait and let it clear.
