Passing target: 70% (14/20)
You parallel park on a street with a bike lane between the parked cars and the travel lane. Before you open your door on the street side, what must you do?
A is parked next to the curb, with a marked bicycle lane between the car and the travel lane. Its street-side door is closed; the bike lane is empty in this illustration.
Correct answer: Look back for bicyclists and traffic, and open it only when it is safe to do so.
Why
A door that opens in front of a bicyclist can throw the rider into the door or into the travel lane. Check your side mirror, then turn your head to look back, because a bicyclist moves fast and may be in your blind spot. The rule applies to passengers too, so remind them to check before they open a street-side door.
