Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Allow sufficient clearance when passing..
When you are passing parked vehicles in a residential area; move into a safe overtaking position in good time and leave plenty of clearance between your vehicle and the parked vehicles to increase visibility of small children in the area and in case someone opens their car door in front of you.
