Question

before getting out of your car, after parking at a two-way street curb, you should:

look for cars or bicycles on the traffic side of your vehicle

make sure you are parked at least two feet from the curb

turn your front wheels toward the curb

Explanation:

Analyze the safety requirements for exiting a parked vehicle

Opening a vehicle door into traffic without looking poses a severe hazard to oncoming vehicles and cyclists. Drivers must check their mirrors and blind spots on the traffic side before opening the door.

Evaluate the given options

• Option 1: Looking for cars or bicycles on the traffic side directly prevents collisions when opening the door.
• Option 2: Vehicles should generally be parked within 18 inches (1.5 feet) of the curb, not at least two feet away.
• Option 3: Turning wheels toward the curb is a practice for parking on hills, not a general requirement for exiting on a flat two-way street.

Answer:

• Look for cars or bicycles on the traffic side of your vehicle (Correct answer)
• Make sure you are parked at least two feet from the curb
• Turn your front wheels toward the curb
