A 3-minute lesson from the Nevada course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
Nevada law never gives anyone the right-of-way — it only says who must yield. Failing to yield is the leading cause of crashes in Nevada, and even when others should yield to you, you must do everything possible to avoid a crash.
Right-of-way
Generally, the right of one vehicle to go before another. The term also applies to pedestrians and bicycle riders.
Emergency vehicles sounding a siren or using flashing lights, from any direction: immediately drive to the right side of the road, clear of any intersection, and stop until they pass.
You reach an intersection with no signs at the same moment as a pickup approaching from your right. The pickup should usually go first. Let it through, then proceed carefully.
Check your understanding
Read the question, decide on an answer, then open it to check the explanation. These are Roadwise study questions based on the source handbook.
