Passing target: 80% (24/30)
You are parked at the right curb with the engine running, and you want to pull into traffic. What should you do before you press the accelerator?
A is parked along the right curb of a two-way street with the engine-running fact supplied by the card. The road beside A is visible but no chosen departure or selected gap is drawn before the answer.
Correct answer: Check ahead and in your mirrors, look over your left shoulder, and signal.
Why
A driver who pulls out from a parked position must wait for a gap in the traffic that is already on the road. Accelerate gradually and smoothly, with your heel on the floor, so that you join the traffic flow without surprises. Keep checking your mirrors as you move, because a cyclist or a car can come up quickly.
