emergencies
You approach an intersection where another vehicle is already inside it. Who has priority?
- The approaching vehicle, because it has not reached the crosswalk
- The vehicle already inside the intersection
- The vehicle traveling at the higher speed
- Whichever driver sounds the horn first
Answer: The vehicle already inside the intersection. Vehicles already inside an intersection have the right-of-way under the Mississippi manual. An approaching driver should yield and allow that vehicle to clear rather than entering based on speed, position at the crosswalk, or a horn signal. The first choice invents priority for the vehicle that has not yet entered. A horn does not assign legal precedence, and speed is never the deciding measure. Scan the whole intersection before moving, especially when traffic or sight lines make another vehicle easy to overlook.
