What is the most important general principle about right-of-way in Florida?
- A.The right-of-way belongs to the boldest driver
- B.If the law gives you right-of-way, you are never at fault
- C.Right-of-way rules only apply at signalized intersections
- D.No one truly 'has' the right-of-way until others yield it, and you must always do everything possible to avoid a crash, even if you believe the right-of-way is yours
Correct answer
D. No one truly 'has' the right-of-way until others yield it, and you must always do everything possible to avoid a crash, even if you believe the right-of-way is yours
Why
Florida law describes who must yield, not a guaranteed right to proceed. Even when others should yield to you, you must exercise care to avoid hitting pedestrians or other vehicles.
