At a four-way stop, another driver goes ahead out of turn. What should you do?
- A Yield to that driver so you do not cause a crash
- B Honk and pull into the intersection to claim your turn
- C Back up to give the driver more room
- D Go anyway, since it was your turn
Show answer
A. Yield to that driver so you do not cause a crash
At a four-way stop, the vehicle that stops first goes first. If another vehicle goes out of turn, yield to it rather than risk a collision; defensive driving is about avoiding crashes, not winning.
