You are about to open your car door at the kerb. What should you do?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Check for cyclists and traffic first, and open it with your far hand
- Step 1: Opening a door into a cyclist can cause a serious crash. Step 2. Use the far hand, which turns your body so you look over your shoulder before the door moves. Answer: Check for cyclists and traffic first, and open it with your far hand. Why not the others: Opening fully or quickly gives no warning, and passengers also need to check.
