Two from the bank, answered.

Real items, with the answer marked and the reason written out — the same format as all 22.

Why: When two vehicles reach a four-way stop together, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right. (South Carolina Driver's Manual, right of way)

  1. ASlow down only
  2. BCome to a complete stop, then go when it is safeCorrect
  3. CStop for buses only
  4. DYield to traffic
