Texas Car / Permit practice question · Right-of-Way

Several vehicles reach a four-way stop at different times. Who should go first?

Answer choices

• the driver who came to a complete stop first goes first— Correct answer
• the largest vehicle always goes first
• the driver who honks first goes first
• the vehicle turning left always goes first

Why this is the answer

At a stop where all traffic must stop, vehicles proceed in the order they arrived, so the driver who stopped first goes first. A tie goes to the vehicle on your right. Vehicle size, honking and turning left give no priority. Slowing down without coming to a complete stop is not enough at the sign.
