1 Answer

Answer :

Depends on whether traffic is coming or not, but usually a slow roll. My understanding from Driver’s Ed though was you’re always supposed to stop completely, so it’s probably a ticketable offense to roll out, at least around here. That was years ago when I learned it though. One other thought here, people who roll out can sometimes be in a hurry (which is why they’re still moving), so it can be potentially perilous for pedestrians crossing…if you’re a pedestrian, always try to make eye contact with the drivers of cars pulling out of parking lots!
