You should all get out of your vehicle and do rock, paper, scissors to determine who goes first. Then the remaining 2 do it again to see who goes second.
No, when there are only two cars, the trafic rules apply.
But they are 3 persons. The rules for rock, paper, scissors doesn't work so well for three. And if they play it two at a time, which two starts?
No, better to fool the two others to step out of their cars to play, and then you drive. Problem solved!
MrCatBrat That is great dumb answer for a very dumb question. I am glad this guy did not teach me how to drive.
I am betting that you were the class cut up. It shows.
@@larsnystrom6698 To pass or not to pass ... this is the problem ...
🤣🤣🤣🤣😜
Would say depends on which car arrived at intersection first
All at once, as it always happens.😅
Which can be quite ambiguous.
Agree
@@bobbylee2853 blue car
@@goodluck1800 you’d think the red car since his road is bigger wouldn’t it be considered the main road in this situation
Usually you have eye contact, and you just agree on who goes first. That is how we learnt it.
The name indicate that you are Norwegian, if that is so, you must have a very old drivers' education. Eye contact is absolutely not a ''insurance card'' The yield to the car right off of you comes to ply here. The white car goes first then the read and lastly the green.
@@norseman5041 Lol
@@norseman5041 Hæ? Why the white car first? Because of the colour of the car? Size of driver? Time of day?
@@kjellg6532 Because of the color of the car, white goes first. LMFAO yeah, I might have been too quick on this one.
@@norseman5041 the Blue Car is to the RIGHT of the White Car
If you live in PA, it literally doesn't matter if its uncontrolled or not. We all just stop and have a 30 minute discussion about who should proceed first at every kind of intersection. Once who chosen who should go first, that person then picks someone else to go first and they go instead.
😂😂 This.
Then it goes to the ballots!
I'd be happy with this. It gives me attention for 30 minutes of my week 😀
I haven't finished watching this video yet, but I believe that it would be decided by mutual agreement.
The simple way to solve this dilemma is that all three drivers get out and flip coins. The odd one goes first and then the driver on the right.
But they have to put their phones down first😆. I know sad but true.
Absolutely not. The correct solution is a 3-way paper-scissors-rock competition.
@@jeffharper7579 yes, but they never do.
The red one is on a bigger road so it could be the first, then the blue, then the white. But without a stop, it's better to stop your car and wait for common agreement.
The law only mentions that for uncontrolled roads one has to yield to the right. No matter the size of the road, car or ego.
Part of the responsibility here is with the road designer. It looks like an access road and two roads that go around a block. If so the two roads around should be one way. No more conflicts.
Lupo Ellison ... the bigger road i think is an optical trick ...
Someone has got a metric stripe ?
@@alessandroandrenacci2372 but the building shown at the top seems to indicate a parking lot situation
My first instinct would be to treat it as a 3-way stop sign even if there isn’t one. If I had to pick one of the four options, I’d say #4.
White car.
Countries like mine have practically removed all stop signs and weren't lazy about creating a road system that required as few stop signs as possible and try maintain traffic flow and safety at the same time... USA sucks in some regards, sorry for spitting facts.
Simple, since all three vehicles are turning left, they can hug their respective left shoulders, and they all can turn left, without stopping.
In reality, I would stop and let the other cars drive.
But I would say 4 is correct 😕
All other option are canceled out through left before right rule.
If drivers are paying attention the rule of thumb is whoever comes to a complete stop first is the one first not always people play by the rules you have to be careful and not everybody pays attention they're even on their cell phone or they're smoking medical marijuana in their car. I'm usually not in a rush always let the bad drivers go first.
If they've been smoking they are more likely to yeild to both cars.
@pauljanssen7594 Your logic would seem freaspoonable but if a accidengt happens, the officer are going to look at where cars since he/she is not going to determine who arrive 1st but where the cars where at the time of the accident.
@BL Alleymost likely.. But yeah a full stop (4 seconds) on the line, passing slightly the line or before wich can't be more than the previous vehicle length. If so you have to stop again by the linel! If its a close call who got first, then agree with drivers who goes!
If they are smoking medical marijuana in their car, they should not be driving. I'm only drinking the brandy for medicinal purposes, officer.
a common accurance of this is when you are 2 cars coming at a cross intersection from opposite directions and you both turn left. Happens very often. Sometimes you just have to be able to work with the others on the road.
turning left? no problem, just turn before you cross paths and you both can continue. Didn't think of this? Probably because your road system is still in the 1950s style?
The car who arrives to a clear stop first (rocks back) goes first. You have to get with it, and get going. If you sit and wait to make sure everyone is doing it right, you gum up the works. Be prepared to stop, and proceed with caution, of course.
In an ideal world, this would be a deadlock solved by common agreement. In the real world, the most aggressive driver would pass first.
Whoever gets to the intersection first has right of way, however if this was in Las Vegas then each car would speed to get there first and the result would be a heinous 3-car wreck.
All cars must give right of way. As a result, it has to be common agreement.
My "rule of thumb" was always - "The one with the biggest wheels wins".
Bigger wins ok.
For safety I wait and wave the others though. It is better then having accidents.
I yield to the youngest driver/sportiest car ( the least predictable). I'm usually the oldest driver in the oldest, best maintained car (18 years and counting).
Number 4. In a case like this, I observe closely who arrives first, as it is highly unlikely that all three cars will arrive precisely at the same time. First come first serve. I wait for the car who arrives first to pass through first, the car on his left next, and then the last car last.
Ok, but ... what happens if the first is asking to the second ... the way ( just to say ) ?
When you get there, you can't pass as a first, you have to wait untill one of them decides to start, but you don't know which was the first ... so ... be patient ... they need time ...
One is old and deaf, he cannot understand so easily ... he renew his driving licence when he was ok ... 🤣🤣🤣 ( just for joking, of course ... )
yeah either common agreement or just let the more aggressive driver go through first. if they're all aggressive drivers then shiitttt. i know I'm going first.
In the UK we use a headlight flash to indicate "I am giving way " an idea the USA should adopt.
I dont ever trust the headlight flash because it could mean
"giving way " or it could mean "coming through fast "
No wonder there are so many accidents. Lots of people interpret this differently.
Here in the UK we simply don’t have cretinous junctions like this. Problem solved.
In the US, everyone stops and they have a gunfight. The survivor goes through the intersection.
I haven't started watching yet and I would say the red car goes first because it has the best view of what's around the turns. The other 2 have restricted vision around the corner of the building and should exercise caution before turning.
The 3 cars will very unlikely arrive at the same time. For me, from far away I will slow down to let the other two arrive the intersaction first.
In real life, there is no intersection like this one without either a stop 🛑 sign or a yield sign.
There's quite a few of them where I live that have none
In France there are numerous. And always a moment of doubt on which car must drive first.
He doesn't mention that all cars arrived at the same time until after you make your choice
Completely wrong, there are many places with this intersection types that it looks like a Y change noting, make it a T and see if that help you with the deception. The yield to the right comes to ply if there are no stop signs or lights.
Me too way too many but most people are curious here where I live.
1 The red car. Because the red car is on a wider road than the other two and main roads take precedence over secondary roads. Another rule that applies is that a car entering a zone takes precedence over those cars leaving it (the white and blue cars are inside next to the building). In case the three roads are of the same relevance and in a similar location, the car that stopped first has the priority and then the car to the right goes second.
Lol no.
You're dumb. White car. Allows more room for green car then leaves room for red car. People are just too dumb to use logic.
@@stighaaland5357 yes
Tanti auguri
@tgp7201 And do we have confirmation on this made up sinario of the author recognizing it is indeed? Or may it be angle / perception of how it looks?
I always had this example in my head thinking self driving cars going in a infinity loop, passing there turn to the next car.
Red, White then Blue. The Red car sees 45 degrees in either direction -- that constitutes a fork. The other cars see 90 degrees in one direction and 45 degrees in the other. Those constitute left or right turns. Therefore, the Red car goes first. Then the White car to it's right and so forth.
Just sane... :^) Saint
Common agreement ain't common in my country. Our ego is common. At this point, we either start quarreling and showcasing who has a higher social status or a better car or we eventually end up fighting😂😂😂
1. Blue
2. Red
3. White
I am not a 100% sure for USA rules of the road but where I live, the car that is on your right has the right of way, if there are no traffic signs on the intersection.
Thanks for sharing take care
Awesome ques!
In my opinion Better to stop first and watch others reactions and respond safely when traffic is free or safe🤔🤝 option 4
Another slight error. The red one and the white one only have to make 70° turns and it's depicted in the arrow that's drawn. But the blue one has to make a full 90° turn but the blue arrow drawn still only shows a 70° angle. Like some sort of intentional trickery.
blue car must stop , unless he wants to hit white car. . Red car has to yield . So to me the white car shall be first to go. But ya I am wrong.. In drive school now. still learning.
The color of light is a spectrum. Red is the lowest color in the spectrum, so the red car goes first. Blue is high in the spectrum, so blue goes next. White is a mix of all colors of the spectrum, so the white car goes last. _(I'm being facetious, Kendrick, lol)_
Car to right of each driver goes first.
If I am in the red car, silver/ white car goes first.
Then my red car turns left, after me the blue car turns left.
there's 3 problems with this scenario.
1. An intersection with no signs
2. all 3 vehicle getting to the intersection at exactly the same time
3. All 3 drivers using their turn signals.
Reality,
1. somebody is going to get there first, so they would have the right of way.
2. At best only one driver would have the brains to use their turn signals,
3. The vehicle going the fastest has the right of way.
4. According to the insurance company's, in an accident the vehicle making a left turn is always at fault no matter what, so in this case of all 3 vehicle making a left would be 1/3rd at fault.
This is regardless of speeding and failure to signal.
In Texas, the driver with the biggest gun goes first.
"It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
Oh, he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip
When he tried to match the Ranger with the big iron on his hip"
I remember asking a question about a similar (practically the same but with 4 way intersection) question while I was doing my driver's ed. The answer was "in such case the most insolent goes 1st". Personally I'd wait for the other drivers to sort it out unless someone gestures for me to go.
Back in the olden days the answer to a 4-way tie was "North goes first". But today too few people know which way is North.
@@psdaengr911 North - east or north - west? When there is no real north road....
I chose #4, because I was taught that most rules of the road are institutionalized politeness. So when in doubt it's better to be polite than "righf you look at the situation very carefully, you'll notice that the front end of the blue car is actually at the intersection while the other two are are a half-car back from it, using their entry roads as the metric. So so rationally, the blue car being "there first" should go first, then the white, then red.
That's the way that many drivers think. But from experience I'd yield to the white sports coupe, because the driver is more likely to be younger, more aggressive, less predictable. That's defensive driving, not DVM driving.
I would judge it so I arrive before or after the other vehicles, by slowing or increasing speed, that way they get clear priority of which one goes first and I get a clear junction. I doesn't need to be a conflict if drivers think ahead a little.
The main road, larger/more lanes (so whomever enters the intersection first). Red white blue
Not 100% sure but,nearly sure: Keeping the FLOW of traffic in the main road establishes priority; Red car goes first. Then the car that is not in but about to access the main road, white car, last the car that is going from a branch road to another branch road.
usually there's a yield sign but i would just go with the red car.
i think that the common agreement should be that the white car goes first in this instance because he has the most room to turn, followed by the blue car and the red car should go last.
In the Philippines, There is unwritten rule the most expensive and better maintained car should cross first. If that is violated you will receive an angry horn noise and maybe some swearing. An exception is if any of the three vehicles is a tricycle(motorcycle with a side cab) will initiate to go first because no one would dare to cause an accident to that type of vehicle because he can't afford to pay for any damages to both of your vehicles.
Let say I am red car
I go slowly, and white car stops.
So I am the one to go first.
White car looses the priority over me
And I have priority on blue car
1. white car.
then blue and the last is red.
remember:
"make room for people which going out from an elevator. let them go out first, before you step inside it."
it will save much of your time..
I'd always be happy to go the last in such situation. I would show my hand to signal that they can go first.
Why on earth does the USA not use roundabouts very much? A suitably sized roundabout would allow all 3 vehicles to proceed at the same time.
Right before LEFT. Blue goes first, then white then red. As simple as that !
Red car in my opinion has the right away first because it is coming from isolated area into a congested area. Then therefore blue car then white.
Order would be red blue white, because that is fair and optimised.
I would say No1 rather than No 4 because No1 car is on the main road according to the picture. However if three roads are same size,
No4 would be the right answer,but the picture needs redrawing!
Thanks. 👍
White car, because going straight. Others are turning left.
It is a matter of waving, whoever waves someone else on first will get waved back at to go. Then you go, even though you waved someone else on.
if im one of the driver, i let them pass before i proceed
Standoff situation, everyone has someone on the right side, someone has to step down first, inform the others to give the others a chance to get ahead 4 By common agreement !
If you unravel this knot a bit, you will see that all three cars may make a "tangent turn". This is legal as far as I know at least in some states. To make a "tangent turn" pass to the left of the vehicle instead of crossing in frount and then turning left. To visualize this easier, imagine each car in the picture shifted to the left of the road. Then they simply take a left turn. Of course it would not be legal to start from this visualized position, but you get the idea. Using the tangent turn, there is no need for any order to be considered.
Like a roundabout?
You could do that but the small distances make it someone impractical.
I would basically stop and wave the person on my right to go while I wait. I suppose there is the letter of the law, but it really comes down to common curtesy.
+blue go firt second white and red
The one without it's blinker on, just does it, "drive fast take chances"
In Florida we have no rules, red lights optical, lol
Here in Denmark we actually have a rule in the “Y” Intersections, like this on. It’s very simple. The car on the right always goes first. Which means. White, red, then blue.
You haven't looked this from other car's perspectives have you?
Are you special?
Yes i have. From The blue cars perspectives, the red car is on the right side. And the white car is comming from the right side of the”Y” intersection. You have to look at The intersection as a “Y”. That’s important. So as i said. Whit, red. And blue😊
To me, the "road" under the red car seems to be a main entry road, maybe into an office complex or shopping area. Therefore, cars on the entry road would have the right of way, then the blue car, then the white car.
1) Cars exiting have right of way over cars entering.
2) It is a 45-45-90 intersection and the blue car is making a 90 left, so does not have right of way over either. The white car is on the right side of the y and thus has right of way over the red car. Therefore, the order is white, red, blue.
Green to green...starboard to starboard🤣right to right way..
I will signal to let other cars go firstly, I go after all of them.
So I always have peace of mind.
Good luck to all.
In Wisconsin everyone will sit and wave the other drivers on until one of the drivers gets mad and floors it
In this instance I would almost always signal to the other car to let them go ahead. In most parking lots the red car would be coming into the lot and would have right of way and the other two would have stop signs and be considered cross traffic.
By common agreement we mean the oldest car with no worries of debts and scratches go first. Just like parking a brand new car is furthest away from the congested area to prevent dings. Lol
Always me of course. What a question?!
😂
That might be right that might be wrong. That’s a metaphysical issue here in Florida who goes first makes it.
The red one goes first because everyone knows red cars are the fastest!! 😂
Red car, white car and blue car. The red goes first because it is coming from a main main. The white car will be 2nd because it is going to a main road . The blue car is last as it come and will go to secondary roads.
Red -> Blue -> White.
The red car is on the main road, therefore getts the right of way.
Next, the blue car is on the right.
It's number 4. It's almost always number 4 in these scenarios. Though there is solid reasoning behind white going first as blue is the only one making a 90 degree turn which puts white to the right of red with both making 45's.
By the time you figure all that out.....crash! In most cases, if they all got there at the same time, they would all stop and agree through waves or hand gestures who goes first. That's how it would work in the real world.
You making up your own imaginary traffic rules huh?
Technically speaking it should be the red car if that's considered a main street then blue because he is going into the main street and lastly blue.
But in reality its whoever wants to be respectful but also willing take the initiative.
In real life, the silver car would drive on sidewalk, the green on the grass and red car would be driving in reverse.
For me the darker the car the more priority it should be given. That means the red goes first then the blue and the white goes last.
Depends on timing 1or. 2or 3 they will all get to intersection at diff times. Even by ten inches. Doesn't matter. All three will know who got there first and second. Third will wait till after the other two have gone. I think anything other than timing is going to cause confusion. " I thought you indicated for me to go first " kind of scenarios. I'm not sure why he chooses the #4. Im curious as to when have you ever seen three people agree with each other from behind a steering wheel. Yikes.
#3 Is the Answer. The car on the Right always has the right of way.
The Red car is next then the Blue car.
In Serbia there is "the rule of the right side", so by the law of the traffic, which every driver must know before getting the licence, first goes White car, than the Red one and in the end the blue one... Best wishes from the culture that wild West bombed in 1999
I have never experience an uncontrolled intersection outside of a mall parking lot. Otherwise, there is always a stop sign, roundabout, or traffic light.
If they all arrive at the same time, AND ALSO because each driver is to the right of one other driver, then one driver has no priority over the other drivers. Somehow two drivers have to wave one driver through to break the impasse.
I'm pretty sure I saw this very demo by Joey Chitwood in the 70's. They pulled it off. They all ended up driving on their side. But, that's how ALL of their stunts ended.
Put a roundabout in the middle like the uk.
Add to the confusion. Roundabouts are troublemakers. A traffic signal of a special three-way kind is indicated.
@@riazhassan6570 It is only troublesome if you don’t know how to use it. Roundabouts reduces accidents and delays if drivers use them properly. US drivers are not used to drive around a roundabout, they like to drive straight.
@@lunluong4235 Yes, with the big ‘if.’ Mostly, people ignore the protocols, especially when there is heavy traffic. Lights are irritating, but they regulate intersections reasonably well. Of course, accidents can and will happen, regardless of the system
Well it got me..
I answered what ever car im in, goes first...
While the answer given is how it is decided, the white and blue cars should really consider their entrance to the intersection as having implied yield signs due to the building obstructing their view of the other roads. The red car is the only one with an unobstructed view of all three roads, and therefore should have right of way. Properly mark the intersection and place yield signs in front of the white car and the blue car.
The only vehicle in this situation that is actually making a 'turn', is the blue one. The red and white vehicles both have a 'curve' in the road they are travelling on. So the white vehicle has 'right of way' over red vehicle and red vehicle has ROW over blue vehicle, since blue is only one making a 'turn'. Of course that's just my opinion and how I see it, only because I tend to over think and complicate things. Of course Kendrick's solution is much easier and quicker.
where i live, it would be independent of angles, thus also apply to a t-intersection. but the others might chose to give up on their ROW since one car going straight would be the fastest to clean up the crossing, instead of the others turning around each other in potentially smaller roads.
The white goes first, then the blue and red finally.... That's using my geographical mind😂
since technically we all have right of way, so via visual communication we should come to a common agreement

Who is coming last, chrushes the others in a unique strike ( 2 points plus 1 for bonus ... )
🤣🤣🤣
I live in Rhode Island. Unless there is a stop light, traffic can only move by consensus regardless of who has a stop sign or who got their first. It's not the law, just the custom. Providence RI in particular has a plethora of two way streets that are too narrow for two cars to pass each other at the same time, so drivers are conditioned to working everything out with each other nearly all the time. Of course, that doesn't mean that some people can be jerks once in a while.
I live in NY so the idea that all 3 would be using their turn signals is laughable.
The fastest car has the right of way.
I have never seen an uncontrolled intersection on public right of ways, I may have seen one on private property that would rarely have multiple cars on it.
Usually, people can see who stopped first should go first as it is not possible they come and stop exactly at the same time.
Unless it's the one in a million odds that everyone pulled up to the line at the same time, whoever was first to the line. If it is the odds, then perhaps who is doing what, someone going to work vs the store vs vacation gets priority. It could also where the road they are on comes from. A busy highway vs store vs residential street?
Green -White ,and Red ..in the order !
No car has right of way, you sort it out by eye contact and kindness.
😮😮The red car goes first because that is my favorite color.
It seems to me that the blue car us right at the intersection and so should go first however, it is such an uncertain situation that common agreement is likely the best approach. I personally would yield to the other 2 cars.
For how long ? If all three do that ,you will be late for your appointment
all such questions should also mention the country in which it happens.
where i live (germany, but also other countries in europe), most smaller streets have no signs (and "4way stop" is completely unknown), and "right before left" applies to all those small crossings, with no stop needed or watching for who came or stopped (which is not needed, or even could be seen as giving up on the right to go before cars from the left) first. in a situation like this, drivers have to find a solution by giving up THEIR OWN "right from coming from the right" and indicate to the car on their left that it may pass. they should and can not wave the car on their right since that one has a right of way anyway and it would cause confusion, but they only can give up on their own right of way.
in this specific case, the blue one would probably let the white pass first since the road at the red car is widest and thus this would allow the fastest way to clean up the crossing. next then legally would be the red one (coming from the right of the blue one), but that driver might wave and yield to the blue one since the white would be gone and thus it would be easiest for the blue to enter an empty street, with the red going last and thus then also being able to quickly enter an empty street. if the drivers are no selfish jerks, white/blue/red would be the fastest way, although there is no law who goes first, and legally red could go before blue (after white has left).
