You have parked at the curb on a busy city street, with a bike lane running next to the parking lane. What should you do before you open the driver's door?
A is parked at the curb with a bicycle lane directly beside the driver’s door. A cyclist approaches through that lane from behind A.
Correct answer: Check your mirror and turn to look back for bicycles, mopeds and cars, and open it only when clear.
Why
Bicycles and mopeds are narrow and easy to miss, and a door that opens suddenly in their path can throw the rider into traffic. When you can, have passengers get out on the curb side. State law names exiting a vehicle without endangering pedestrians and cyclists among the subjects of the driver examination (N.J.S.A. 39:3-10).
