Yield to the Left or Yield to the Right?
2 Answers
When turning, vehicles turning right should yield to those turning left. The following are the right-of-way rules: Rule 1: When both vehicles are going straight, the vehicle coming from the right side of the road has the right of way, meaning the left-side vehicle yields to the right-side vehicle. Rule 2: When vehicles are coming from opposite directions, the vehicle turning right should yield to the one turning left. Additional information: Meeting oncoming traffic note 1: When meeting oncoming traffic, pay attention to the condition and movement of surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. If pedestrians are blocked by an oncoming vehicle, immediately sound the horn to alert them. Meeting oncoming traffic note 2: If meeting oncoming traffic on a road without a central guardrail, reduce speed and choose a wider section of the road to pass through slowly.
Speaking of traffic rules, as a seasoned driver with over ten years of experience, I know that at an intersection without traffic lights, the vehicle on the left must yield to the one on the right. This means the car coming from the left should let the one from the right go first. Why? The rule is cleverly designed because the left-side driver’s view of the right can easily be obstructed, so yielding to the right reduces collision risks. I remember a minor accident I had when I first started driving—it happened because I didn’t yield to the right in time. Luckily, it was just a scratch. Since then, I’ve always followed this rule and even remind my family and friends: safety is no small matter, and developing good habits can prevent big trouble. Every time I approach an unfamiliar intersection, I slow down and check carefully to ensure there are no cars coming from the right before proceeding.
