55

Drivers age 55 and older are more familiar with who has the legal right of way at intersections, according to a poll by Pemco Insurance, examining whether drivers understand the laws governing four-way stops. Older drivers were more familiar with the law than their younger counterparts — 96 percent of older drivers correctly identified the vehicle that has the right-of-way, while 84 percent of those younger than 35 offered the correct response. According to Washington driving laws, when two cars approach an intersection at the same time, the vehicle on the left yields to the vehicle on the right.
