What is the yielding order when driving on the road?

The yielding order when driving is that turning vehicles should yield to straight-going vehicles and pedestrians; right-turning vehicles should yield to left-turning vehicles. Pre-departure check: Before setting off each day, conduct a comprehensive vehicle inspection, including checking for oil or water leaks, measuring tire pressure to ensure it's appropriate, inspecting the engine oil condition to verify its color is normal and the oil level is correct. Safe driving: Use seat belts properly - their protective effect during a severe collision is no less than that of airbags. Avoid fatigued driving and take a break every 2 hours. Traffic rule compliance: Especially on highways, do not speed. Speeding may not only result in traffic police penalties but, more importantly, is unsafe.
I'm quite familiar with the right-of-way rules on the road. Having driven for over a decade, I've summarized the core principles into a few key points. Straight-going vehicles always have priority - turning vehicles must wait until all straight-going traffic has passed. Cars entering from side roads must patiently yield to vehicles on the main road. We must always stop for pedestrians crossing, regardless of traffic light signals. At roundabouts, entering vehicles must yield to those already circulating - never force your way in. When turning right, watch carefully for pedestrians and cyclists. At small intersections, right-turning vehicles generally have priority. These are fundamental traffic regulations that make driving much smoother once internalized. During my long-distance trips, these rules helped me avoid several potential conflicts. I've witnessed sideswipe accidents caused by others forcing their way, which only wastes time and money. Just remember the rhyme: 'Yield when turning to straight, yield right to left, small yields to big'.
