What is a possible outcome of not yielding at a 4-way stop?

Increased traffic flow
Potential accidents
Fines and penalties
Enhanced driver awareness

The correct answer is: Potential accidents

Failing to yield at a 4-way stop can lead to potential accidents. This situation arises because at a 4-way stop, all vehicles are required to come to a complete stop and yield to other drivers based on the order of arrival. If a driver does not yield correctly, it may result in a collision with another vehicle that has the right of way, endangering all parties involved. It’s important for drivers to understand the rules of right-of-way at these intersections to prevent accidents and ensure safe passage for everyone on the road. Promoting awareness of these yielding rules can significantly reduce the risk of accidents.
