Before opening the driver's side door of your parked vehicle on a busy street, what must you do?
A blue car is parked facing east beside the right curb, with all doors closed. A helmeted cyclist approaches from behind on the left side of the parked car.
Correct answer: Check your mirrors and your blind spot
Why
You must never open a door into traffic unless it is absolutely safe to do so. A common safety technique is the 'Dutch Reach', where you open the door with your right hand, forcing your body to twist and look over your shoulder for approaching cyclists or cars.
