nooo....there is a 50,000 point grand prize.... the tractor guys have an advantage over the van guys....fair is fair.....rules of the road would be more generic and common ground...

 

[jelliott]

I am sure that advantage will shift around as we continue to do these over the years.

to my recollection there has never been a small van specific question....it always either laws for big trucks or something to do with tractors...i know I am a pest...but ya love me still....LOL

These kinds of questions just drive me crazy...


When a driver approaches a traffic signal that is “dark” with no indications, what is the requirement of the driver of an approaching vehicle?

a. Continue through the intersection as normal.
b. Speed up while traveling through the intersection.
c. Slow down and proceed through the intersection with due caution.
d. Stop at the stop line and obey the same requirements of a multi-way stop condition.


Gee, in most states (Michigan, Kentucky, for example) when the traffic signals go dark, the intersection instantly becomes an uncontrolled intersection, and the primary basic right-of-way laws apply (state highways and major roads have the right-of-way over secondary roads). In those states the correct answer would be A (or C in the case of intersecting major roads or state highways). But in a few states (like Pennsylvania, Arizona, Washington, for example) the correct answer is D, because apparently everyone, including travelers who have never been there before, is supposed to know where the traffic lights are "supposed" to be, even when they're not. The latter is widely misreported in the media and online as being universal, but it's not.

The correct correct answer for the purposes of getting your Gold Rewards Points, is, of course, D.

Which I didn't get right, of course.

Not knowing the technically correct answer common sense would seem to be treat it like a 4 way stop. The fact some might not know there is a light normally there makes it even more so.

So, you're driving through a town you've never been in before, the power is out, it's 2AM and it's dark. You cannot see any traffic control devices at all, except of course the STOP signs, as those are illuminated by your headlights. You're saying that every single crossroad intersection you come to, you would treat it as a four-way stop?

Common sense (and the laws of most states) say that in the absence of traffic control devices, the standard right-of-way laws apply.

Treating an intersection as a four-way stop does make sense, but only if you and everyone else at the intersection knows that there is normally a traffic light there. If you don't know that, it makes no sense whatever to treat it like a four-way stop. And that's why most states invoke the right-of-way laws when electronic traffic control devices are absent or inoperative. <shrug>

No i am not saying that at all. Most times when a traffic light is out you or i anyway still notice it and in such case would stop. If i saw no stop signs or no dark traffic light of course i would not stop. But the thought of not seeing it never crossed my mind and i don't believe that is what the question suggested. Things can be over analyzed you know.

From Michigan, 4 way stop is the only rule I've ever known. Depending on the time of day and location you could be waiting a long time to turn or go through with a right of way rule. And who decides who has the right of way at an equally busy intersection
