You are waiting to turn left and an oncoming car is turning right into the same street. Who must yield?
- A The right-turning driver, because right turns are completed faster
- B Whoever signaled first
- C You; left-turners yield to opposing traffic, even right-turners
- D Neither; both may turn at the same time
Show answer
C. You; left-turners yield to opposing traffic, even right-turners
When turning left, you yield to drivers in the opposing lane, and that includes vehicles turning right. A left turn crosses the other driver's path, so the burden is on you.
