@bikers_see_you: Parked cars can create some of the most unpredictable hazards on a city street. A door can open. A driver can pull out. A pedestrian can step between vehicles. A parked SUV can block your view of an entire intersection. Here are 5 common motorcycle mistakes riders make around parked cars: 1️⃣ Riding too close to the door zone Give parked vehicles more lateral space when conditions allow, and watch for clues that someone may be inside. 2️⃣ Ignoring the front wheels Wheel angle, wheel movement, brake lights, and turn signals can warn you that a parked vehicle is about to pull into traffic. 3️⃣ Not expecting pedestrians between cars The gap between parked vehicles is basically a blind corner. Slow your approach and expect someone to step out. 4️⃣ Letting parked vehicles block your view Cars, SUVs, and trucks can hide cross traffic, bicycles, pedestrians, and vehicles leaving driveways or side streets. 5️⃣ Assuming a parked car will stay parked Watch for brake lights, turn signals, front-wheel movement, and drivers checking over their shoulder. Read the clues before the pull-out. Parked is a condition. Not a promise. Give the doors space. Watch the wheels. Expect pedestrians. Read blocked sightlines. Notice movement early. See the clues before the street changes. 👇 What makes you more nervous around parked cars—doors opening or someone pulling out without looking? 🏍️ Ride Smart. Ride Safe. #MotorcycleSafety #MotorcycleTips #BikersOfTikTok
