No, I think I’m actually just wrong here and River is correct. I don’t know how I wound up with the clockwise rule in my head but I just checked the new driver’s pamphlet and it’s first to the intersection. Updated.
The clockwise rule is what you are supposed to do if people arrive to the intersection at the same time.
If exactly two people going opposite directions arrive at the same time and aren’t both going straight, then the one going straight goes before the one turning, or the one turning right goes before the one turning left.
At least, that’s how I and everyone I know was taught, and no, those of us who asked what “at the same time” actually means never got a straight answer.
I dont know Ameeican driving laws on this (i live in the UK), but these two.descriptions dont sound mutually incomptabile.
The clockwise rule tells you everything except who goes first. You say thats the first to arrive.

But the clockwise rule only tells you anything when more than two people are there at the same time. Because A < B < A in clockwise order.
