Your car is parallel parked along the edge of the street, and you are ready to pull out into traffic. What should you do?

Answer options

Why

Vehicles already traveling on the street have the right-of-way over a car leaving a parking space. Check the mirrors and glance back at your blind spot, signal, and pull out only when there is a gap large enough to merge safely.
