At a four-way stop, you and a driver on the cross street to your right stop at the same time. Who should go first?
- A You, because you are on the left
- B The driver on your right
- C Whoever is going straight
- D The driver in the larger vehicle

You are pulling out of a private driveway onto a public street. Who has the right-of-way?
- A You, once your signal is on
- B Whoever is moving faster
- C Traffic already on the street
- D You, if you entered first
Show answer
C. Traffic already on the street
When you enter a street from a driveway, alley or private road, you must yield to traffic already on the roadway. Wait for a gap large enough to enter without making others brake.
A traffic light is green for you, but a police officer in the intersection signals you to stop. What should you do?
- A Go, because the green light controls the intersection
- B Slow down and go if the way looks clear
- C Stop only if the officer is using a whistle
- D Stop, because the officer's directions come first
Show answer
D. Stop, because the officer's directions come first
Directions from a police officer overrule any sign, signal or road marking. Officers direct traffic when something unusual is happening, such as a crash or a broken signal, so follow them even when the light says otherwise.
