Your car is standing on the edge of the roadway. What should you do when getting into the car?

Your answer is correct because German traffic rules prioritize safety when entering or exiting a parked car. Letting passengers get in from the pavement (sidewalk) is safest, as it avoids stepping into traffic. Opening doors on the roadway side should only be done when it is safe and traffic allows, to prevent accidents with passing vehicles. The right-hand side doors are not always safe to open without caution, especially if parked alongside traffic, so assumption 3 is incorrect. Always ensure no danger to yourself or others when opening car doors near traffic.
