Right of way, Georgia traffic laws?

[gwynethpaltrow8]

Let's say that two cars come to a green light on a major highway, one going North and the other South. They both decide to turn onto the same road, the guy going North turning right and the guy going South turning left. Who has the right of way?

The guy turning left since you would be crossing his path.

Person making the right turn always gets first dibs.

The driver closest to the street has the right-of-way. In this case, the Northbound car has it. If both streets are four lane highways, the Northbound vehicle would take the lane closest to him and the Southbound would ideally take the one nearest him. The problem with this is, sometimes the other driver does not know to do this and you can get the "Number One" finger by someone who thinks they own both lanes. Or worst, be involved in a fender bender. Always be careful when assuming other drivers know the rules of the road. Hope this helps.

I come up with the opposite result.
