You are parked beside the right curb and a bicyclist approaches from behind. What should you 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: Look back and wait until the bicyclist has passed you.
Why
Look behind, use the mirrors and check the traffic-side blind area. Open the door only when safe and without interfering with moving traffic, including bicycles. Keep it open no longer than needed to enter or exit.
