California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Goncalves v. Los Banos Min. Co., 23 Cal.Rptr. 21 (Cal. App. 1962):
'The court stated that the driver of the car on the through highway had the right to assume that the driver of the truck would obey the law and stop, and yield the right of way. However, this statement is subject to the general rule that the driver on the through highway must also be exercising due care at that time.'
