A is parked with its doors closed and a cyclist is approaching from behind. What should the driver do before opening the traffic-side door?
A blue car is parked facing east beside the right curb, with all doors closed. A helmeted cyclist approaches from behind on the left side of the parked car.
Correct answer: Check the mirror and over your shoulder; wait until it is safe
Why
Check the side mirror and look over your shoulder before opening a door into traffic. Cyclists can be hidden in the blind spot and may be struck by a suddenly opened door. Keep the door closed until it is reasonably safe, then avoid leaving it open longer than necessary for passengers to enter or leave.
