When two vehicles approach an uncontrolled intersection from perpendicular directions at the same time, who yields?

Question: When two vehicles approach an uncontrolled intersection from perpendicular directions at the same time, who yields?

Answer options: ✅ The vehicle on the left yields to the right

• The vehicle on the right yields
• The faster vehicle
• Larger vehicle

Correct answer: The vehicle on the left yields to the right

Explanation: According to the Québec Highway Safety Code, when two vehicles arrive at an uncontrolled intersection simultaneously, the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right. This "priority to the right" rule establishes a clear, predictable order to prevent collisions. Opposing options are incorrect because right-of-way is never determined by a vehicle's size or speed, and requiring the vehicle on the right to yield directly contradicts provincial law. Memorizing intersection priority rules is highly relevant for the SAAQ knowledge test, as questions about yielding frequently appear to evaluate safe driving choices.
