What is the safest way to think about the right of way?

The rules say who should yield, but no one should assume they automatically have the right of way. Look at the situation and be ready to yield.
From the SCDMV Driver's License Manual, page 6-1. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
