Right of Way Rules and Yielding Rules Explained

"When the light turns green, we will make sure the intersection is clear."

I wish this part was repeated a few dozen times for those in the back.

I liked several things in your video. There are some that I disagree with. One I think may have been wrong. First of all I spoke to a Police officer about right of way rules. The law does not state who "HAS" the right of way. It states who is supposed to "YIELD" the right of way to whom. You did not discuss the pedestrian right of way rules. The misconception is that the pedestrian has the right of way. You are to yield the right of way to a pedestrian in a crosswalk at an uncontrolled intersection. If the intersection is controlled by a signal light then the light dictates who should yield. A pedestrian crossing in the middle of a block ( frequently called "Jay walking which can be a ticket able offense") does not have the right of way. The Officer also stated that if you hit someone in the street even though they were not entitled to the right of way and it went to court you would most likely loose.
Where you showed three cars at an intersection with four stop signs arriving simultaneously the car to far right should go first then the car on it's left then the last car. There is no law stating that only one vehicle can be in the intersection at a time. The two cars facing each other can go together. The same is true when two cars are facing each other are making right turns.
I noticed that one street you pulled onto had all the parked vehicles facing you. It looks like you turned the wrong way onto a one way street or all the cars on the right were parked illegally.
I liked the point where you noticed the truck turning in front of you. You used common sense and "YIELDED" the right even though you legally didn't have to.
There is a lot to be said for rules of the road and defensive driving but our road systems were not designed with them in mind. If everyone followed the defensive driving rule such as at an intersection with a light you should stop so you can see roadway behind the tires of the vehicle ahead of you. If everyone did that you couldn't move enough traffic and would shortly have traffic backed up for blocks. It would be nice and safe but unrealistic.

Thank for this video.

Very valuable information. You can feel like you are teaching this from your heart. Thank you!

Hi I just wanna say big thank you I watch all your video I loved the way you explained everything and make it so easy for us I passed my behind the wheels today again thank you

Clear explanation, followed by demonstration.
Thank you for your time.

New Subscriber in your Channel ' THANK you so much for Sharing 😊

Good explanation

your examples are too easy. i drove 4 way stops today for the first time. and I never saw anything as easy as yours. I saw people arriving at same time, lots of different cross traffic. some people stop, some people don't. this guide was waay too basic. and yeah nobody follows the rules. just look at the lady who went past the bus with stop signs. there are rules.. and then there are real life society and agreed norm rules.

Don't know where you are, but not all states require you to come to a stop for a pedestrian waiting to cross the road not at a controlled intersection or marked cross walk. It's the pedestrian's responsibility to wait until safe to cross.

Learned something new about school buses. Will be taking my driving test in 2 weeks

Thank you so much! You are a great TEACHER ❤

I'm here for two reasons. The first is for me to learn new English🇬🇧 vocabulary related to driving. And I'm also improving my driving skills and since I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷 traffic is a little different from here.
You're the best🎉

Jacqueline, Thank you very much! I m 64 and bit by bit l collect the necessary information on driving!!!

Your smile is beautiful mamm 😍

Wow you are the best driving teacher 💕

How do you drive on Around abound

How far out do you come while you're checking cross traffic at a single stop sign?

She is Very Calm. I am truly enjoying watching her videos. My name sake-Jacqueline😉. JKM.

Thanks for your teachings.
I followed your videos and I got my driving licence yesterday!
You really teach and demonstrate which makes it easier for students.

Thanks once more !

Great ❤❤tips

Hi! Thanks for your videos! I’m preparing for my USA vacation. You explained at the beginning, that on green light or if there is no stop sign, one has the right of way. What shall I do in an unregulated intersection? With no sign on every end, everybody can assume they have the right of way, which would be disastrous.

U like this more but the other guy is more informative a combination between the two is the best. Glad I did have a driving licence they switched my medications , sleeping pills,… it’s very unsafe -not having a driving licence saved not only my life.

You are a good instructor.very gently and easy to understand. 😊 in still in fear driving in a main road.

Very nice video mam

Being from Europe I've never ever seen a 4 way stop intersection. We only have a two way stop and at uncontrolled intersections we always give way to the right. It's my firm belief that roundabouts are way safer than 4 way stop intersections since they significantly reduce fatal T bone collisions. That's because the shape of the roundabout itself forces drivers to slow down, whereas it's way easier for an inconsiderate driver to blaze full speed through a stop sign and cause a potentially deadly car crash. Is there a specific reason why the US doesn't replace all 4 way stop intersections with roundabouts? Just curious

Great 👍 tips 👍

this is fantastic! Thank you for helping us Jacqueline!🚗

You’re the best! Thank you for these videos. Your calm and clear driving tips helped me feel more comfortable as a new driver 🚘

Very nice and helpful video.
Thank you very much

Thank you 🎉
