What action can result in losing right-of-way privileges?

Making a complete stop
Using a turn signal
Exceeding the speed limit
Yielding to pedestrians

The correct answer is: Exceeding the speed limit

Exceeding the speed limit can result in losing right-of-way privileges because drivers have a legal obligation to adhere to posted speed limits. Speed limits are established to enhance safety on the road, and exceeding these limits can lead to situations where a driver may not be able to respond appropriately to other road users, such as pedestrians or vehicles making turns. When a driver is speeding, they may arrive at intersections more quickly than anticipated and not yield when necessary. This impairs their ability to safely share the road and may put other drivers and pedestrians at risk, potentially violating traffic laws designed to protect everyone's right-of-way. In contrast, making a complete stop, using a turn signal, and yielding to pedestrians are actions that promote safety and respect for other road users, reinforcing a driver's right to maintain right-of-way privileges instead of risking them.
