Question 6524

At school drop-off and pick-up, to avoid risks, what precautions should you take when children get out of the vehicle, in addition to checking the surroundings beforehand?

  1. They must not open the doors or get out before the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
  2. For greater safety, they should always get out through the driver's door.
  3. They should get out of the vehicle through the door farthest from the edge of the road.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: They must not open the doors or get out before the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

Children must not open the door or get out until the car has stopped completely. Then they get out on the sidewalk side, closest to the edge of the road, like the girl in the image. The driver's door opens onto the roadway, and getting out on the side farthest from the edge would put them in the lane.
