Two cars arrive at a four-way stop at the same time. Who goes first?
- A.
  
  The vehicle furthest right
- B.
  
  Driver making a left turn
- C.
  
  Whoever's having a better hair day
Correct Answer
A. The vehicle furthest right

Explanation
As a general rule, the NHTSA says that the first to arrive is the first to go. If that doesn't apply, then the vehicle furthest right has the right-of-way. If even that doesn't settle the issue, then vehicles going straight should go first, and if that doesn't apply, just be nice and wave the other person through.

  Hit the brakes
- B.
  
  Steer straight and gradually decelerate
- C.
  
  Jump!
Correct Answer
B. Steer straight and gradually decelerate

Explanation
It's counter-intuitive, but immediately slamming the brakes is the worst thing you can do. It can cause your car to spin out of control, making a bad situation much worse. Instead, hold the wheel firmly while easing off the gas, then gently apply your brakes once the car has slowed.
