Common sense tells me that when BOTH ya'll wind up at the intersection at the same time. You do yeild to the right. Problem is if you blew the intersection and so did the other guy..... both are at fault equally. WHY??? Cause common sense also tells ya there is no protection for any driver at that intersection. You are supposed to slow to a point you could stop IF the other guy blows the intersection whether he is on your right or left.

All rules are off at an intersection like that. Courtesy tells ya the "right yield" rule should apply but how many courteous drivers have you seen lately. I try real hard not to travel streets like that but if I have to I try to stay on a street like 6th where it's a main through fare. It's a shame folks can quote all the rules but fail to drive DEFENSIVLY.............. "Right" don't mean a gnats ass when your dead or seriously injured................... Just my take on all this......... Course my kids say I'm an old lady driver........ but ya know what??? Haven't had a wreck in ages...... been close but no collision.

Close is much cheaper for insurance and my cars last longer.
