Question: Who has the right-of-way at a four-way traffic stop?
Answer: Tom Hinytzke, an instructor at E-Z Driving School, said the first car to reach the stop sign pole or arrives at the white line goes first. The rule of thumb is the first person to arrive has the right of way.
Signaling is very important in order to avoid crashes at a four-way stop. Failure to do so could have you paying close to a $200 fine in Texas.
Hinytzke also went over another scenario: if two cars arrive at a four-way stop across from each other at the same time, if their turn signals are not on, they both can go at the same time.

: Why do many drivers, drive with no headlights on? Shouldn’t their headlights be on if their wiper blades are on?
Answer: Great question Jeff. For this answer, I drove out to northwest Houston to talk to my friend Tom Hinytzke, an instructor at E-Z Driving School. I asked him if it was illegal not to have your headlights on during the day in inclement weather.
Here’s what he said: “No, it is not against the law, it is preferred. It is recommended. It’s kind of like a rule, but it’s not law not to have them on,” Hinytzke said.
