You parallel park on a busy street and want to get out on the driver's side. What should you do before you open the door?
A is parked beside a bicycle lane on a busy street, with its driver-side door closed. No door-opening or mirror-check action is selected.
Correct answer: Look back for bicycles, motorcycles and other vehicles, and wait until they pass.
Why
A door that opens into the traffic lane can hit a passing bicyclist or motorcyclist, and you can be hit as you step out. Drivers who come up behind you may not see you in time to avoid you or your door. Check your mirror, turn your head to look behind, and open the door only when the lane is clear; then get out quickly and stay close to the car.
