Who doesn\u2019t know a SchlauMeier? However, a SchlauMeier is by no means just a know-it-all, but a person who convinces with well thought-out contributions and understandable explanations and thus enriches his environment.
\nThis is precisely the intention of Sven Meier, driving instructor and president of the Zug traffic school, in this multifaceted column.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A quiet intersection somewhere in Switzerland. No traffic lights, no stop sign, no markings\u2014just an intersection, three cars, and a whole lot of confusion. So, who gets to go?<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Welcome to the \u201cunregulated situation\u201d in road traffic! That moment when you find yourself wondering: \u201cWho actually has the right of way now?\u201d and \u201cDo I really have to wave through the guy who just stole my parking spot?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Starting Point<\/strong><\/p>\n

An \u201cunregulated situation\u201d occurs when vehicles meet at an intersection that has no traffic signs or markings to indicate right of way. So: no stop sign, no yield sign, no road markings\u2014just the sacred rule of priority to the right<\/em>. Sounds simple?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a classic example with three vehicles: a white car, a red car, and a blue car meet at such an intersection. The white car wants to turn left, the red car is directly opposite, and the blue car is to the left of the white car (see image). And now, the dance begins:<\/p>\n
