What to do at a yield sign | Driver's Ed | Pro Tip | Defensive Driving Techniques

In this video we'll walk through what the do at a yield sign. How to properly scan the roadway in order give yourself more time to formulate a proper response when approaching a yield sign. Don't forget, you do not have the right away and you must yield to traffic already in the intersection.

Have fun on the road and make sure you keep the rubber side down!

People have no clue how to yield. Great video and explanation!

Thank you for this video. Now I learned how to drive at an yield sign

Drivers in Hawaii should be required to see this video. These people will literally full stop at a yield sign and just sit there regardless if there is light traffic or not.

Yield means you are to perfectly match the speed of the vehicle RIGHT BESIDE YOU and then wait for that driver to move out of your way so you can get on the freeway.

Remember, you do not accelerate ahead, or coast in behind, but PERFECTLY MATCH the speed of the car already in the travel lane.

Once that car moves over, you instantly FLOOR your gas pedal, and bullet way out in front of the car that just got over, then you ease over into the travel lane.

Hope this helps.

Hey man thanks for video. I live in southern Massachusetts too. It kinda felt nice that you went on that intersection that I know. In any case I really found your video to be helpful

Bruh I was on the service road, and I had a yield, 2 vehicles were merging onto the service road.
And some dude got mad because I went in between the gap of both vehicles, like bruh it’s a yield not a stop .
If I were to stop then I’m impeding the flow of traffic

Right and thanks but the others don't let you pass sometimes 😮

The majority in PA thinks yield means everyone is supposed to slam on their brakes or change lanes. HATE it here.

I live in Finland and 99, 9% are yield signs instead of stop signs at our Country so this is very familiar for me

[kennychang]

thank you. it was helpful. however, i noticed that the image freeze on your first example of the yield sign seemed like it was a different day. How would you advise a novice driver to approach that situation-- there is already a car in the rotary, and you are approaching the rotary and the yield sign? Ie. should the driver start to slow down to wait for that car to pass thru the rotary?

Hello, thank you for the video, I have a question please. If I am yielding at a yield sign turning right at an intersection, and there is an upcoming car in the intersection and a pedestrian crossing on the upcoming car's way, not my way. The upcoming car stops for the pedestrian, thus, I have a clear way, but the upcoming car is in the middle of the intersection waiting. What should I do? go or wait till the pedestrian finishes crossing and the upcoming car passes to.

I have a question, I was at a stop sign for 30 seconds plus because of the traffic pattern. No stop sign for the traffic coming towards me and only a yield sign to the right of me for traffic that wants to make a right or a left in front of me. Person on the right of me came to a complete stop at that yield sign and I automatically went straight in front of a police officer that was just sitting there. He looked like he wanted to come after me but he didn't. Was that person at the yield supposed to stop if there was no other cars other than me at the stop sign or should that person have kept going? I think the person got nervous bc the cop was sitting there on the corner. The driver who made a stop at the yield sign ended up behind me.

I taught my kids that yield means stop, until it doesn't. You find out it doesn't mean stop when you're close to determine that there is no traffic to yield to, so, go. Teaching them this way, they have to fully prepare to stop, should it come to that.

When driving on the freeway service road. Price to the 101 here in Phoenix. There’s a yield sign for the service street about freeway off rampers. What’s the way to handle this? I’ve always taken this as if me or another person are about to be in the same position it’s my responsibility as the service street driver to slow down. But if there’s a heavy flow of traffic and their too slow to merge I’d dangerously slow the cars behind me to get behind them. My friend feels I don’t yield enough. But I feel I yield fairly. I feel like if they are too far behind me or slower than me I’m endangering people on the road to decelerate enough for them
