Right of way intersections — Delaware Permit Test

Right of way intersections on the Delaware permit test — 4 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.

The rules

Delaware Driver Manual, p.88

At a 4-way stop, the driver who reaches the intersection first goes first, after coming to a complete stop.

Without an order, two drivers who both stopped would both pull out and meet in the middle.

On the test

How this works

Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.

You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.

Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
