Passing target: 7 correct signs and 18 correct rules
Before opening a parked car's door on the street side, what should the occupant check?
Blue car A is parked beside the curb with all doors closed. The nearby roadway is empty. The card says A car parked beside the curb and All doors are closed. No approaching road user or door-opening action is depicted.
Correct answer: Whether a cyclist or other traffic is approaching.
Why
Check behind and alongside before opening a door, and wait for approaching cyclists or other traffic to pass. Open only when there is adequate space. A parked vehicle can still create a serious collision hazard through an unexpected door movement.
