When you come to an intersection at the same time as another driver, yielding the right-of-way means:

  1. Driving faster than the other vehicle

  2. Honking to signal to the other driver

  3. Giving the other driver the opportunity to go first

  4. Positioning your vehicle close to the other vehicle

The correct answer is: Giving the other driver the opportunity to go first

Yielding the right-of-way means giving the other driver the opportunity to go first at the intersection. This is a safety measure to prevent accidents and ensure traffic flow. Option A, driving faster than the other vehicle, is incorrect because it goes against the concept of yielding and could potentially cause a collision. Honking, as mentioned in option B, may be considered rude and aggressive behavior. Option D, positioning your vehicle close to the other vehicle, is incorrect because it could be interpreted as an aggressive or threatening action and also goes against the concept of yielding.
