What must be done at a 4-way stop?

The vehicle with the right away should go first
Only the vehicle to the left should proceed
Vehicles should take turns in sequential order
Vehicles should proceed according to who arrived first

The correct answer is: The vehicle with the right away should go first

At a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the right of way should go first. This means that the vehicle that is first in the "line" at the stop should proceed first. The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the proper etiquette and rules of a 4-way stop. Vehicles should not take turns in sequential order, as this can create confusion and lead to accidents. Additionally, only allowing the vehicle to the left to proceed is not a standard rule of a 4-way stop. Lastly, allowing the vehicle who arrived first to always go first is also incorrect, as different traffic scenarios may determine who has the right of way.
