You have stopped at the right edge of the road and want to get out. Bicycle A is approaching from behind. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is stopped at the right edge; the driver wants to get out
- Bicycle A is approaching from behind
- One lane in each direction
💡 Hint
A driver must not open a door or get out without first checking that it is safe (Article 49(1)7 of the Road Traffic Act). Bicycles ride along the right edge of the road and can appear late in the mirror, so do not assume the rider will avoid you.
Answer: ②, ③
Explanation
A driver must not open a door or get out without checking that it is safe (Road Traffic Act Article 49(1)7). Bicycles ride along the right edge, so a door opening suddenly is hard for them to avoid. Check behind using the mirror and by turning your head, and after bicycle A has passed, open the door a little, check again and get out. Opening the door to make the bicycle stop, or trusting it to steer around you, leads to crashes.
