Four way stop sign intersection.
All four cars arrive at their stop sign at the identical moment.
Who has the right of way to move first?

But who has that right to pull ahead first?

The first person to reach the stop sign and come to a stop is supposed to be the one to go through the intersection first. If people come to the interescection simultaneously, the person "to the right" is the one who gets to go first.

A little thing is to stop a couple of feet before the STOP, before you really need to stop. So you stopped first before everbody else, and can follow your way through as first on the intersection. The other drivers havent stopped yet..

here's wiki's answer:

If two vehicles stop at the same time, priority is given to the vehicle on the right.

If three vehicles stop at the same time, priority is given to the two vehicles going in opposite directions, if possible.

If four vehicles stop, drivers usually use gestures and other communication to establish right-of-way.

There's "right of way" and then there's the right way. I'd rather keep my car intact and be wrong than get smashed up and be right. If there's a question, I'll let the other guy go first.

I've found that to be a good time to spark the doobie that's in my ashtray and just go fourth.

Me too. Sometimes if it's close and the other person is slightly ahead of me I'll continue rolling slowly up to the stop to let the person know I'm not going to go ahead of them. Then I'll stop.

Which ever vehicle's speed reached zero first. I have a hard time believing that happened at the exact same milisecond. There is a reason there aren't ties in the Olympics

The driver with the gun goes first.
