Red lights and stop signs. When you come to a four-way stop and two drivers arrive at the same time, what should you do?

  1. Both should drive straight

  2. The car on the right should go first

  3. The car on the left should go first

  4. Honk the horn

The correct answer is: The car on the right should go first

When approaching a four-way stop and two drivers arrive at the same time, it can be confusing as to who should go first. However, the general rule is that the car on the right has the right of way and should go first. This is to ensure a smooth flow of traffic and prevent any accidents. Choosing option A, for both cars to drive straight, would result in a collision as both drivers would move at the same time. Option C, for the car on the left to go first, goes against the general rule stated above. Option D, to honk the horn, is not necessary and can cause confusion and potential hazard for other drivers on the road. Therefore, option B, for the car on the right to go first, is the most appropriate and safe choice in this scenario.
