Explanation
When approaching an uncontrolled intersection (one without traffic signs or signals), slow down and be prepared to yield. The first vehicle to arrive usually has the right-of-way. If two or more vehicles arrive at the same time, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right. Even if you have the right-of-way, proceed with caution-never assume other drivers will yield. The right-of-way should always be given, not taken. Being courteous and alert helps prevent collisions.
