Why a puzzle beats flashcards for right-of-way

The written DMV test asks “who goes first?” — but real driving asks you to read a whole intersection at once. Intersection drops you into the situation and makes you sequence every road user. When you misjudge it, you watch the collision and read the exact California Vehicle Code rule you broke. That's how the rule actually sticks.
