Keep your door open to warn other motorists.
If you must stop and park on the side of the road, make sure to turn on your emergency flashers. This is especially important at night. Taillights are not an adequate when alerting other drivers because the drivers may mistakenly think your vehicle is moving normally and collide with it.

Wait for the other driver to signal that it is safe to do so.
Whenever you pass another driver, bicyclist, or pedestrian, you should assume as a precaution that they do not see you.
