Why are parked vehicles along a street a hazard to watch closely?
- A.They block your view of the license plates
- B.They always pull out without signaling
- C.A person may step out from between them, or a door may open into your lane
- D.They make the road narrower by a fixed amount
Correct answer
C. A person may step out from between them, or a door may open into your lane
Why
Parked cars hide pedestrians and create sudden obstacles when doors open or a vehicle pulls out. Covering the brake and giving them extra side room protects you from the surprise you cannot see yet.
