Should the straight-going vehicle yield to the left or right?

Straight-going vehicles should yield to the vehicles on their right. Below are some precautions regarding car driving: 1. Cold engine warm-up: Proper warm-up helps the engine oil form an "oil film" between engine components, thereby reducing component wear. 2. Timely gear shifting: When driving a manual transmission vehicle during the break-in period, shift gears promptly and appropriately to avoid incorrect behaviors such as high gear with low RPM or low gear with high RPM, and do not use a single gear for extended periods. 3. Timely maintenance: Simply follow the manufacturer's recommendations in the vehicle manual, and after reaching a certain mileage or time, promptly conduct vehicle inspections and maintenance, including oil and oil filter changes, along with a comprehensive inspection of the chassis system. 4. Avoid emergency braking: Emergency braking not only impacts the braking system during the break-in period but also increases the impact load on the vehicle's chassis and engine.

As someone who has been driving for over a decade, I believe that straight-moving vehicles at intersections generally need to yield to vehicles approaching from the right. This is a fundamental traffic rule derived from the 'yield to the right' principle, aimed at reducing collision risks. Imagine you're driving straight and encounter an intersection without traffic lights, with another car approaching from the right. If neither yields, accelerating could easily lead to an accident. I've experienced this situation myself—nearly colliding at a remote intersection, but fortunately, I slowed down and checked carefully. Specifically, you should reduce speed in advance, use your rearview mirror and turn your head to check if any vehicles are approaching from the right lane. If there are, stop and wait until it's safe to proceed. Exceptions to this rule are rare, but some urban areas may have different signage, so understanding local regulations can save you trouble. Remember, driving safety is more important than anything else. Developing good habits ensures peace of mind.

During driving lessons, the instructor always emphasized one thing: the straight-going vehicle must yield to the vehicle on the right. Back then, young and curious, I asked why. He demonstrated a scenario where if neither car at an intersection yields, the most dangerous collision point would be on the right. Now, I follow this practice when driving. Whenever I approach an uncontrolled intersection, I slow down, glance to the right first to ensure no cars are coming before proceeding. This rule is common in China and helps avoid many disputes, though beginners often overlook it. In actual driving, I softly count seconds as a reminder to myself when slowing down, like looking right for two seconds before making a decision. In short, safety comes first—don’t be careless. The rule is simple; just get used to it, and you’ll effortlessly control the wheel and enjoy the journey.

I'm accustomed to paying attention to traffic rule details, where yielding to the right is standard practice. At intersections without traffic lights, priority is given to vehicles approaching from the right to reduce the likelihood of accidents. Designed based on international conventions, the 'yield to the right' principle encourages orderly driving. You need to observe first, then act—slow down and confirm no one is coming before accelerating. Adhering to it makes roads more harmonious and driving more reassuring.
