At an uncontrolled T intersection, one potential issue arises from the way drivers interpret right of way. A driver who is traveling straight may mistakenly believe they have the right of way over other vehicles approaching from the side road. This misunderstanding can create dangerous situations, as drivers turning left or right from the intersecting road may be unaware that the straight-going vehicle is not guaranteed to have priority.

In an uncontrolled intersection, it is important for all drivers to be cautious and yield as necessary to avoid collisions, especially since there are no explicit traffic signs or signals directing traffic flow.

Other options do not accurately reflect the nature of right of way rules in this situation. Not every vehicle must stop, only those that need to yield. There is no specific rule that gives left-turning vehicles precedence over others in this context, nor is there a situation where right-turning vehicles inherently have priority. Each driver must assess the situation and yield appropriately, making awareness and communication among drivers crucial for safety at uncontrolled intersections.
