Best Answer:  The basic rule is first come, first served. However, sometimes according to other drivers or situations, the rule has to be modified. So if I get to the stop first, I should go first as long as no other cars are trying to go at the same time. Make sure it's obvious that you're watching for what other cars are doing too, rather than just blindly following rules. If you get there at the same time as someone else, you can communicate with hand signals sort of. I usually let them go first, meaning I just wave at them to go ahead. If they wave you to go ahead, just go, and you can even politely wave a thank you as you pass. If you get in that awkward situation where you've both waved each other ahead at the same time and are at a standstill, watch their car to see if they look like they intend on moving. If not, creep forward, still watching their car (just in case they've changed their mind), and go (or yield if they decided to go after all).
