Right of way must always yield — Oklahoma Permit Test
Right of way must always yield on the Oklahoma permit test — 5 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
When entering or crossing a highway without traffic signs or signals, stop and yield to approaching traffic, and go only when it is safe.
With no sign or signal to sort out turns, the traffic already on the highway will not expect you to pull out.
Stop and yield to approaching traffic and go only when it’s safe to do so.
At a stop sign, after stopping, yield to pedestrians and to vehicles in or approaching the intersection, then cross or turn when it is safe.
Stopping is only half the rule; the cars and people already coming through the intersection still go first.
Yield to pedestrians and to vehicles in or approaching the intersection.
Yield to people crossing the roadway, whether the crosswalk is marked or unmarked.
Most corners have a crosswalk even with no paint on the road, and a walker there has the same right to cross.
Yield to people crossing the roadway, whether the crosswalk is marked or unmarked.
When making a left turn, yield to all oncoming traffic, and go only when there is enough clear distance to turn without interfering with it.
A left turn crosses the path of oncoming cars, and misjudging their speed is a common cause of serious crashes.
Yield to all oncoming traffic.
When entering or crossing a public road from a private road, alley, driveway or building, stop before the sidewalk or crosswalk, then go when it is safe.
People on the sidewalk do not expect a car to roll out of a driveway, and the road's traffic does not expect it either.
stop before the sidewalk or crosswalk, then go when it’s safe to do so.
On the test
You are entering a highway at a crossing with no signs or signals. What must you do?
Stop and yield to approaching traffic. With no sign or signal to sort out turns, the traffic already on the highway will not expect you to pull out. Oklahoma Driver Manual, p.29: “Stop and yield to approaching traffic and go only when it’s safe to do so.”
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.
