You reach a four-way stop at the same time as a driver facing you who is going straight while you turn left. Who should go first?

• A.You, because turning takes longer
• B.Whoever has the bigger vehicle
• C.Both at once, since paths cross
• D.The driver going straight — turning traffic yields

Why

At a four-way stop, first arrival goes first, and ties are broken by yielding: left-turning drivers yield to traffic going straight. Proceed only when your path is clear.
