Right of Way
Four cars come to a four way stop, all coming from a different direction. They can't decide who got there first, so they all entered the intersection at the same time. They do not crash into each other. How is this possible?
Answer
They all made right hand turns.Hide Answer Show Answer

How is a right turn forward? and isn't it possible they all miss because no two are headed stright for each other or the center? It is possible they all go staright at the same time.
There is an answer, if every car is an a road, in one of the four directions (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT), and every road has 2 lanes, and they have the same speed and small size, they wouldn´t hit, but almost. With 4 or more lanes it would be easier to do, but still an exact try.
woulda been better to say, all cars moved at the same time, not saying forward, cause a right hand turn is NOT forward.
What if they were at a European roundabout? That's an intersection where everyone can enter at the same time without incident.
How can so many say "but that's not forward!" when the word "forward" is NOT in the question? A case of not reading correctly, and assuming!
In Britain we drive on left, so if they all turned right there would be an almighty smash.
unless they were all turning right on a roundabout.
unless they were all turning right on a roundabout.
For those who follow the british way of driving, the answer has to modified to all cars turned to their left.
