You are driving in lane 2 of a road with two lanes each way, and car A has just stopped at the edge ahead. Car B is approaching from behind in lane 1. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight in lane 2
- Car A has just stopped at the right edge ahead
- Car B is approaching from behind in lane 1
The duty to check safety before opening a door lies with the driver of the stopped vehicle (Article 49(1)7 of the Road Traffic Act), but passing drivers must also anticipate danger (Article 48(1)). When moving into the next lane to avoid it, you must not obstruct a vehicle coming from behind (Article 19(3)).
Answer: ②, ⑤
Explanation
The driver or a passenger of a car that has just stopped may soon open a door and get out. Checking for safety before opening a door is the duty of car A's driver (Road Traffic Act Article 49(1)7), but passing drivers must also anticipate the danger and slow down (Article 48(1)). To move over to lane 1, change lanes with your turn signal on only when it will not hinder car B's normal travel (Article 19(3), Article 38(1)); cutting in abruptly or sounding the horn repeatedly is wrong.
