Generally, when you yield to the right of way, you are letting another person or vehicle go before you. However, because many drivers do not understand this rule, they do not follow this rule of the road as they should, and as a result, they can cause crashes. For example, if you arrive on your motorcycle at a stop sign at the same time as another driver at a cross street and your bike is on their right, you should give the other driver the right to proceed first. On the other hand, if you come up to an uncontrolled intersection at the same time as another automobile, the rider or driver who reached the intersection second is the one who should yield the right of way.
