Question 4953
At an intersection where you are required to yield, when may you proceed?
- Immediately after the vehicle you are yielding to passes.
- When there is enough space to merge into traffic.
- When you are sure that you will not force the vehicle with the right-of-way to change its path or speed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: When you are sure that you will not force the vehicle with the right-of-way to change its path or speed.
Yielding means letting anyone with the right-of-way go first without forcing them to brake or suddenly change their path. You may only move off when you are sure you will not force them to change their path or speed abruptly. Pulling out right behind a passing car or into a gap is not enough if another vehicle with the right-of-way is approaching.
