When turning at an uncontrolled intersection marked with four-way stop signs, what should you do?

Allow vehicles in the intersection to go first regardless of direction
Make a right turn before making a left turn
Make a left turn before making a right turn
Go only when there are no other cars at the intersection

The correct answer is: Allow vehicles in the intersection to go first regardless of direction

When turning at an uncontrolled intersection marked with four-way stop signs, you should allow vehicles in the intersection to go first regardless of direction. This is because all vehicles are expected to come to a complete stop at the stop sign, and then proceed in the order they arrived at the intersection. This promotes safe and organized traffic flow. Option B is incorrect because it suggests making a right turn before making a left turn, which goes against the proper order of turns at a four-way stop. Option C is also incorrect for the same reason - making a left turn before a right turn would disrupt the flow of traffic and potentially cause confusion and accidents. Option D is incorrect because even if there are no other cars at the intersection, you should still follow the proper order of turns as it is the responsible and safe thing to do.
