Hi everyone, I’m currently studying for the final written exam (Honmen) and I’m confused about a specific illustration question regarding dropping off a passenger in a traffic jam.
The Scenario:
There is heavy traffic, there is a side walk on left and I need to let a passenger out of the car.
The Options:
-
Open the door and ask them to get off ASAP cause the car next to me can move and therefore I need to move too. (i believe its false)
-
Warn the passenger to look for motorcycles before opening the door. (I believe its True)
-
Move the car to the "very left" of the road before letting them out. (Thats confusing)
I’m struggling with #3. Wouldn't moving to the "very left" block the path for cyclists, motorcyclists, or pedestrians?
In my head, blocking the path seems wrong, but the logic in my mind say it is the "correct" safety maneuver to prevent motorcycles from "filtering" or squeezing through the gap while a door is opening.
Can someone explain the "Japan Logic" behind this? Is it strictly about "closing the gate" so no one can pass on the left? Would love some insight from those who have passed the exam! Arigato
