When two vehicles reach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time, who has the right-of-way?

  1. Right-most vehicle

  2. Left-most vehicle

  3. Vehicle closest to the intersection

  4. The vehicle from the major road

The correct answer is: Vehicle closest to the intersection

At an uncontrolled intersection, where there is no traffic light or stop sign, all vehicles approaching the intersection must yield to other vehicles already inside the intersection. This means that both the left-most vehicle and the right-most vehicle do not have the right-of-way unless they are the first vehicle to enter the intersection. The vehicle from the major road does not automatically have the right-of-way either, as both vehicles should yield to each other. Therefore, the correct answer is the vehicle closest to the intersection.
