Question: Opening a vehicle door into the path of a cyclist (dooring) is:
Answer options:
- Allowed ✅ Illegal and dangerous
- Permitted if signalling
- Acceptable on quiet streets
Correct answer: Illegal and dangerous
Explanation: Under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, opening a vehicle door into the path of any oncoming traffic, including cyclists, is strictly illegal and highly dangerous. Drivers and passengers must check their mirrors and blind spots before opening a door to prevent severe injuries. Signaling or being on a quiet street does not excuse this action, making those options incorrect because the risk of a serious collision remains high in any environment. G1 candidates must understand these sharing-the-road rules, as questions on vulnerable road users are a major component of the official exam, and "dooring" carries heavy fines and demerit points in Ontario.
