Explanation
Parked cars can pose a danger to approaching vehicles. As you approach a parked vehicle, assume that the driver or passenger may open a door without looking, which could cause a collision or force you to swerve to avoid hitting the door. This is particularly important when passing parked cars on narrow roads or when bicyclists or pedestrians are present. By assuming that a door may open, you can adjust your speed and position to minimize the risk of a collision.
