Section: 第７節 車に乗るときなど
Type: True/False
Difficulty: medium

## Question
When getting in or out of a vehicle, you should check left and right for safety before opening the door.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
Chapter 2, Section 7, Item 2 of the Rules of the Road says to "check front and rear for safety before opening the door." What should be checked is the "front and rear," not "left and right." This question is a trick question that swaps "left and right" for "front and rear."
