If you have studied and taken the driving license theory test, there are some people who do not know the sentence sa picture solved by the principle: “First, second, three way, four way”.
This situation is beautifully referred to by theoretical books as equal rights of vehicles when entering the intersection and is explained as follows: Vehicles enter the intersection first, have the right to go first, then vehicles enter later, must yield, even priority vehicles must produce.
So is anyone wondering, what is the legal basis of the “equality of rights” described here, based on what is in the Special Traffic Act. I didn’t see any.
Take a look at the photo of the situation that led to the tragic accident below that killed a motorcyclist in Binh Phuoc recently. The two cars rushed to the intersection like arrows, showing no signs of slowing down. How should we understand which car is giving way in this situation?

If according to the books and according to the law, there would be two statements:
First, according to the book, vehicle errors are as follows: both vehicles do not slow down when entering an intersection, the motorcycle will add to the error at the next intersection without giving way to the car that has entered the intersection first. . .
Second, according to Article 24 Paragraph 1 of the 2008 Traffic Law, the faults of the two current vehicles are: both cars did not slow down when entering the intersection and at this time the car will have one more fault, namely: do not give in to vehicles coming from the right at the intersection without a sign roundabout.
There is clearly a contradiction here, so should the books change or the laws should change?
