You reach an all-way stop at the same time as a vehicle to your right. Who must yield?
-
A.
Both drivers may edge forward together at low speed.
-
B.
The other driver must wait for you to clear the intersection.
-
C.
You must yield to the driver on your right. Correct
-
D.
Whichever driver plans to go straight moves first.
The answer is "You must yield to the driver on your right."
At an all-way stop with simultaneous arrival, Florida's manual directs each driver to yield to the driver on their right. Choice D tempts drivers who carry the through-movement-outranks-a-turn rule over from yield signs and unprotected lefts; at a four-way stop, the tiebreaker is position, not direction of travel.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Both drivers may edge forward together at low speed.
Both drivers moving at once is exactly what the right-hand rule exists to prevent. This answer substitutes a mutual courtesy wave-through for the manual's explicit yield-to-the-right instruction on simultaneous arrival.
B. The other driver must wait for you to clear the intersection.
Reverses who yields under the right-hand rule. This answer reads the tie as though the reader arrived first, applying the first-to-arrive rule instead of the simultaneous-arrival tiebreaker the manual actually names.
D. Whichever driver plans to go straight moves first.
Direction of travel does not decide priority at a stop-controlled intersection. This answer imports the through-traffic-outranks-a-turn rule from yield signs and unprotected left turns into a four-way stop, where position on the right decides the tie regardless of direction.
