During an official procession, who typically has the right of way?

  1. The larger vehicle

  2. The procession does

  3. The first vehicle that arrived

  4. The nearest pedestrian

The correct answer is: The procession does

During an official procession, the procession itself typically has the right of way. This is because official processions often involve a group of vehicles moving in a coordinated manner for a specific purpose, such as a funeral procession or a parade. Granting the right of way to the procession as a whole helps ensure the safety and orderliness of the event. It is important for other road users to yield to the procession and follow any instructions given by law enforcement or event organizers to facilitate the smooth flow of traffic and prevent disruptions. Therefore, in this scenario, the correct answer is B - The procession does. The other options are not typically granted the right of way during an official procession. The size of the vehicle, the order of arrival, or the proximity of pedestrians are not factors that determine right of way during an official procession. The priority is given to the procession itself to maintain safety and organization on the road.
