You stop to allow passengers to exit your vehicle on the right-side. A cycle path runs along there. What should you do?

Your selected combination of answers (1 and 2) is correct because they address important safety aspects in this situation.

1. Checking for cyclists is vital as cyclists have the right of way on marked cycle paths, and failing to do so could lead to an accident.
2. Pointing out the cycle path to passengers exiting helps them be aware of potential dangers and encourages them to exit safely.

In Germany, the StVO (Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung) emphasizes the responsibility of drivers to ensure the safety of both their passengers and other road users, including cyclists. Observing the traffic using only the rear-view mirror, while relevant, does not provide a comprehensive view of the surroundings. Thus, it's essential to take both checks seriously when allowing passengers to exit your vehicle.
