you want to turn right and vehicle a wants to turn right into the intersection. who gives way?
If you and Vehicle A are facing each other and you both want to turn right into the intersection, normally neither of you has to give way – you can both turn at the same time, keeping to your own lane and passing “offside to offside” (fronts of the cars facing each other as you turn).
When you both turn right
In a standard cross-intersection with no special markings:
- Each driver turning right must:
- Stay in their correct side of the road as they enter and exit the turn.
* Avoid cutting across into the other vehicle’s lane.
Because your paths do not cross (you are both moving into separate lanes on your own side), there is usually no formal “give way” rule between the two of you, and you can turn simultaneously if it’s clearly safe.
Situations where someone does give way
You (or Vehicle A) must yield if:
- There is a sign or road marking that changes priority
- Stop signs, Give Way/Yield signs, or arrows can override the general rule.
- One of you must cross the other’s path
- For example, if it is a T‑intersection and one driver is on the terminating road, that driver must give way to all traffic on the continuing road, even if both are turning right.
- Local rule: give way to the right
- In some countries, if both arrive at an uncontrolled intersection at exactly the same time and conflict exists, the driver who has the other vehicle on their right usually yields.
Practical safe approach
- If in doubt, make eye contact and move slowly so you can stop if the other driver goes.
- Never force your turn; if the other driver seems unsure or starts to move, let them go first.
As a simple rule of thumb: if you are opposite each other and both turning right into your own lanes with no signs changing priority, you generally both turn without giving way to each other, as long as it’s safe and your paths don’t cross.
TL;DR: In the common “both turning right, facing each other” case, no one must give way; both can turn at the same time, unless signs, lane layout, or local “give way to the right” rules create a conflict—then the usual right‑of‑way rules apply.
