When two vehicles arrive at a four-way stop at the same time, which vehicle must proceed first?

  1. The vehicle on the left

  2. The vehicle on the right

  3. The faster vehicle

  4. The vehicle straight ahead

The correct answer is: The vehicle straight ahead

In a four-way stop, all vehicles must come to a complete stop and then proceed in a first-come, first-served order. This means that the first vehicle to arrive at the stop sign should be the first one to proceed. In the scenario described in the question, both vehicles arrived at the same time, so the vehicle going straight ahead has the right of way and should proceed first. Options A and B (vehicle on the left and vehicle on the right) are incorrect because the concept of right of way takes precedence over the physical location of the vehicles. Option C (the faster vehicle) is incorrect as speed does not determine right of way.
