You have parked beside the right curb. Before opening the traffic-side door as a cyclist approaches from behind, what should you do?
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 mirrors and look back; wait until it is safe.
Why
Check behind and alongside before opening, and wait for moving traffic to pass. Open carefully and close the door promptly after loading or unloading. Connecticut prohibits opening a door so that it contacts traffic traveling reasonably and safely, and leaving it open longer than needed in a way that causes contact.
