Answers:

Why do drivers wait to turn on their car blinker after they are in the turning bay?

by good road etiquette the first to arrive, Generally, the driver who stops first continues first.
If two drivers stop simultaneously at stop signs at a single intersection, the rule is that the car on the right-hand side, or the most counterclockwise, has the right of way.
Stop signs may be augmented with additional information such as a plate with the legend "4-way stop". This is important because a driver accustomed to negotiating four-way stops may be tempted to ignore "his own" stop sign, relying on what he assumes to be the requirement for vehicles approaching from other directions to stop. The consequences of thus jumping what is, in fact, a two-way stop can, quite obviously, be disastrous. The assumption has therefore to be, if there is only a plain stop sign, that cross traffic will not stop. "4-way stop" plates are provided on the fail-safe principle that if they are missing (through disrepair, vandalism, etc.) the "more dangerous" message is given.

Usually its whomever came to the stop first, technically the vehicle on the right has the next turn. That doesn't really answer the question when there are 4 vehicles there.though. I always go by the maxim that he or she that hesitates sits there a little longer. I have been known to let a pretty girl go ahead of me though.

If my license is suspended can I still drive someone home if they are too drunk to drive?

It seems that we generally just go on the first come first serve basis. Or even if one guy wasn't there first, they might make a right turn before it is their turn etc. But I believe the law states thatthe first person has the right of way and then the person to the right of that person, then the right of the following persone and so on. At least that is what it says in the driver education manual for the state of Gerogia. Check your local DMV website and read it in the online version of your booklet.

It's important to know that you can't _take_ the right-of-way, you can only _give it away_. In other words, if you are on the right and arrive at the same time as another car, it is still your responsibility to look at the driver to the left to see if they are going to give you the right-of-way. If you are the driver on the left, stop and look at the driver on your right to let them know you are yielding (giving the right of way). If you both proceed into the intersection at the same time, you will both be at fault legally, at least in the State of Georgia. I expect that law is the same in most states.
