What should you do if you have the right-of-way but another vehicle does not respect it?

• A. Yield to the vehicle and allow it to pass
• B. Speed up to assert your right
• C. Honk loudly and continue
• D. Stop and wait for the other car to go

Answer: (A)

The main idea is safety first: when another driver doesn’t respect your right-of-way, the safest move is to yield and let them go ahead. This reduces the chance of a collision caused by miscommunication or a driver who isn’t paying attention. You don’t try to “win” the right-of-way with speed or loud signals; instead, adjust your speed or position so there’s a safe gap and the other vehicle can proceed without forcing a confrontation.

Hurrying or speeding up to assert your right increases crash risk. Honking loudly doesn’t reliably influence another driver and can startle or anger them, making things worse. Stopping and waiting for the other car to go can cause confusion or block traffic; yielding and proceeding when it’s safe keeps traffic moving and avoids a potential crash.
