Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You park at the curb on a busy street and want to get out on the driver's side, next to traffic. What should you do before you open the door?
A is parked next to the traffic-side roadway and bicycle lane. Its door is closed; no driver mirror or rear-look action is illustrated.
Correct answer: Check the mirror and look back for cars, bicycles and people, then open it when safe
Why
Bicyclists who ride near parked cars are often hurt by doors that open suddenly. Do not leave a door on the traffic side open longer than you need to load or unload passengers. Passengers on the curb side should get out on that side.
