Unfortunately this is not the way that that most people think and anyone in vehicle A would be foolish to try and assert their right of way.
i would disagree here. the vehicle already on the road and going straight has the right of way. the vehicle in this case should have no reason to believe he is entering (what might be ) an uncontrolled intersection and thus would proceed with the right of way. the vehicle turning off of the road and onto another has to yield to oncoming traffic. this is a no-brainer.
