Hazard awareness

You are passing a line of parked cars and notice a driver sitting in one of them. What should you anticipate?

A door could open suddenly into your path
Correct
The car will certainly stay still
The driver will wave you past safely
Your view of the road signs will improve

Why?

Rule 239 of The Highway Code treats an opening door as a danger to passing traffic, and Rule 146 says anticipate the unexpected. Someone sitting in a parked car may open a door into your path, so leave room and be ready to slow.

Highway Code rules 239, 146
