Explanation
Before pulling away from a curb or parallel parked position, always signal, check your mirrors and blind spots, and look for approaching vehicles, cyclists, or pedestrians. Yield the right-of-way and wait until the roadway is clear before merging into traffic. The driver leaving the parking space is responsible for avoiding a collision. Enter the roadway slowly and smoothly, staying in your lane and making sure not to block traffic while waiting to merge.
