When can you open a car door on the road side?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. After checking that no traffic or cyclist is approaching
- Step 1: Opening doors can strike passing road users. Step 2. Look in the mirror and over your shoulder first. Answer: After checking that no traffic or cyclist is approaching. Why not the others: As soon as the car stops: the door may hit a passing cyclist or vehicle. When you have sounded the horn and switched on the indicator: a horn does not clear the path of a passing cyclist. When the hazard lights are flashing: hazard lights do not make passing vehicles stop.
