INTERSECTIONS CONTROL OF VEHICLE For approaching intersections Uncontrolled intersections RIGHT OF WAY LAW Approaching from the right does not excuse you from slowing down and having  your vehicle under control. For going through an uncontrolled intersection Two basic laws govern the approach to and movement through uncontrolled intersections.  Drivers shall have their vehicle under control. Drivers shall reduce their speed to a  reasonable and proper rate when approaching and traversing an intersection.  When you are driving on a street or highway which is not protected with  stop signs, yield  signs or traffic lights,  you are driving on an unprotected route and the intersections are  uncontrolled.  At such times you are required to slow down and have your vehicle under  control at a cross street or a cross road.  When two vehicles approach an uncontrolled intersection in such position and time that  there is danger of collision, the driver of the vehicle on the left must yield to the driver of the  vehicle on the right.  If you are the driver approaching from the right do not assume that you have the right of  way.  You have the right of way only when the other driver gives it to you, and only if  another vehicle is not already within the `intersection.
