The vehicle to your left, because it is on your right and you should yield to it.. The vehicle to your left has the right-of-way because, at an uncontrolled intersection, you must yield to vehicles already in the intersection or approaching from your right.

You are approaching a multi-lane highway where traffic is moving at high speeds. A large truck in the right lane is signaling to merge into your lane, which is to the truck's left. The truck's "no-zone" refers to the areas around the truck where the driver has limited visibility. Which of the following is generally the largest and most dangerous no-zone for a passenger vehicle?

The area to the immediate left of the truck's cab, extending forward. The largest no-zone is typically to the immediate left of the truck's cab, extending forward. This area is often referred to as the "passing side" no-zone. The area behind the trailer is also a significant no-zone, but the forward left no-zone is where a car can get trapped when passing. The areas to the right and directly in front are also blind spots, but generally smaller and less critical for passing maneuvers. Always maintain a safe following distance and avoid lingering in a truck's blind spots, especially when passing.
