Question 7149

If necessary, how will you merge into traffic from a parked position to make sure you can do so without endangering other road users?

  1. By extending your arm with the palm of your hand facing backward.
  2. With the hazard lights on.
  3. By following another person's directions.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: By following another person's directions.

If you cannot see clearly when pulling out of a parking space, you can follow another person's directions to check that it is safe, as the driver of the green passenger car does with the man on the sidewalk in the image. Extending your arm with your palm facing backward signals that you are backing up, and hazard lights are not used to enter traffic.
