- drunken-serval 11y agoAnd I've been deferring to the left for 10+ years... Great.
- mangeletti 11y agoExactly. The rules state that the person on the right has the right of way, yet people freeze up, then both go, then both hit the breaks, etc.
- roymurdock 11y agoBe bold and cast fear from your heart mangeletti. Software cannot be bold. I intend to conquer self driving cars at all 4-way stop signs.
- DrScump 11y ago<Driving 101. In the US, the car to the right has the right of way.> Law 101: driving laws are state-specific. Law 101(a): Maybe I'm not understanding what you are trying to say here, but for CA and taken literally, it's incorrect. See, for example, CVC $21753. http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=VEH&division=11.&title=&part=&chapter=3.&article=3 http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xh....
- roymurdock 11y agoI think you've misunderstood me. I was responding specifically to the case pointed out by the OP in which 2 cars get to a stop sign at the same time. Here's the relevant CA code, and I haven't heard of a state that does it differently: 21800. (a) The driver of a vehicle approaching an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered the intersection from a different highway. (b) (1) When two vehicles enter an intersection from different highways at the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on his or her immediate right, except that the driver of any vehicle on a terminating highway shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle on the intersecting continuing highway. http://law.onecle.com/california/vehicle/21800.html http://law.onecle.com/california/vehicle/21800.html
