California Car / Permit practice question · Right-of-Way
It is against the law to enter an intersection, even on a green light, if:
Answer choices
- You cannot get completely across before the light turns red— Correct answer
- There is another car anywhere on the same street
- You are driving a larger vehicle than usual
- You plan to turn rather than go straight
Why this is the answer
Even with a green light, you may not enter an intersection unless you can get completely across before the light turns red. Stopping or blocking the intersection when there is not enough space is against the law. Another car on the street, a larger vehicle, or a planned turn does not make entering illegal.
