Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Check their side mirror and look behind before opening the door..
Before opening any door; check for other road users passing; and in particular look out for pedestrians; cyclists and motorcyclists. Exit the vehicle only when it is safe to do so; and close the door as soon as possible. Where ever possible; passengers should exit on the side nearest the kerb wherever possible.
