A QUESTION about who has the right of way on the intersection?
-
my co worker was driving towards this 4 way intersection,this intersection has 2 stop signs,so he stop at the stop sign and waited until tor the school bus picked all this kids,he was the very first driver waiting at the stop sign and the intersection so when finally the school bus left he drove across the intersection but the other cars that were there after him they took off to and one almost hit my coworker's vehicle,my friend said to me that since he was at the intersection first and waited like forever for the school bus to move he had the right of way ,i am a little bit confused here, is he right actually? nothing in the virginia's driving manual talks about it. Thanks for your time.

Answer:
If one car has a stop sign and another does not have a stop sign, then a driver without a stop sign always has the right of way. Even if you have been waiting for three or four hours, if you have a stop sign and someone else does not have a stop sign, then you do not have the right of way. Who arrived first only matters if they all have stop signs, or if none of them have stop signs.

Always remember the driving rule that says "you may not do ANYTHING if it's not safe to DO IT", even if you have a green light or "right of way" In cases like this, it's best to let the other person go if they insist on it.
been there, done that.
Sounds like your friend was impatient "waited like forever" & might have pulled out too soon. Better to be polite & let the other driver go first. This is also called "Better to be safe than sorry".

The first vehicle that arrives at an intersection does get the right of way, but if another vehicle doesn't give it, the first person there should yield to the other car for safety's sake. They were just being jerks and putting people at risk. Karma should get them back ^_^

in most states if you arrive at a stop sign at the same time the person to your right has the right of way.......if 4 people all get to a stop sign at the same time it still applies becuase the 2 people would be traveling on the same road
