Intersection right of way — Nevada Permit Test
Intersection right of way on the Nevada permit test — 5 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
At an intersection with no traffic signs or signals, the vehicle on your right should usually go first.
With no sign to settle it, two drivers can each decide to go and meet in the middle.
At an intersection where there are no traffic signs or signals, the vehicle on your right should usually go first.
A vehicle already in the intersection has the right-of-way over others just getting there.

A vehicle already in the intersection has the right-of-way over others just getting there.

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.
