You are parked beside a bicycle’s approaching path. What must you do before opening the vehicle door?
A blue car is parked beside the path of an approaching cyclist. All car doors are closed. The question contains no marked door-swing area or door-opening instruction.
Correct answer: Look for bicycles and traffic, and open only when safe.
Why
Before opening a door on a highway, take precautions so it does not interfere with traffic or endanger a person or vehicle. Check the area beside and behind the vehicle, including bicycles. Do not leave the door open longer than necessary for passenger loading or unloading.
