Question 7330

If a truck and a passenger car meet on a very narrow section of road where the right-of-way is not marked, which vehicle goes first?

  1. The one that has to back up the greater distance.
  2. The truck if there is any doubt about which vehicle entered first.
  3. The passenger car, because it has less difficulty getting through.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The truck if there is any doubt about which vehicle entered first.

What matters first is who entered the section first. If the passenger car is already inside, it goes first even if a truck is approaching. When there is doubt about who entered first, the list of vehicle types applies, and the truck ranks ahead of the passenger car. Being easier to maneuver does not give a vehicle the right-of-way, and the backing distance only decides priority between vehicles of the same type or vehicles not on the list.
