Question 4996
At a narrow, level passage where there are no right-of-way signs and two vehicles cannot fit at the same time, which one will go first?
- The vehicle that entered first.
- Always the vehicle with greater maneuvering difficulty.
- Always the vehicle with the higher maximum authorized mass (MMA).
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The vehicle that entered first.
Without signs, the vehicle that entered the narrow section first goes through, even if the other is larger or heavier. Difficulty maneuvering only decides priority if there is doubt about who entered first, and maximum authorized mass is only used to break a tie when the backing distance is the same. In the image, the silver passenger car is already on the bridge and the white van is approaching from the other end, so the van waits.
