Who has right-of-way?
|
Let's say you come upon a four-way intersection without traffic lights. You arrive at the intersection at the same time an oncoming car does. The oncoming car wants to make a left turn while you want to go straight. Who goes first?

The person going straight has the right of way. The person turning left has to yield to the person going straight. |

the person going straight has the right of way.......the one who turns has to wait until there is no more oncoming traffic to turn. |

there should be stop/give way signs unless the place is pretty isolated
but generally, the car who goes straight has priority (or the one on the main road) |

The person going straight through. Though in the real world, the person with the biggest nerve/balls. |

At least in California, where I live, there is no such thing as "having right-of-way". In this case, the car turning would be required to yield right of way to the car going straight. But the car going straight doesn't have any "right-of-way". There is no such thing as "having right-of-way". At least, this is the case in most jurisdictions. |

I would say the car going straight but it's better to yield to the other driver and see what they do. Just be careful when you make a move. Since it's a 4 way stop, it almost doesn't matter. Just be defensive. When in doubt let the other driver go first. |
