Should Straight-going Vehicles Yield to Right-turning Vehicles?

[DelGabriela]

Straight-going vehicles do not need to yield to right-turning vehicles. The yielding rule states that turning vehicles must yield to straight-going vehicles. When straight-going vehicles encounter turning vehicles, the turning vehicles should give way to the straight-going ones. Below are specific details about yielding rules: 1. Right-yielding principle does not apply: The right-yielding principle does not apply when straight-going vehicles are on the main road, and right-turning vehicles are merging from a side road into the main road. In this case, straight-going vehicles on the main road have the right of way, which differs from the scenario at intersections. When vehicles from different directions both have the right to proceed straight on the main road, vehicles on the right should be given priority. 2. Liability: Generally, the right-yielding principle applies at intersections without traffic signals, traffic police direction, or traffic signs or markings specifying right of way. In case of a traffic accident, the driver who fails to follow the right-yielding principle bears full responsibility. If there are traffic signals or police directing traffic, drivers must follow the traffic guidance.
