When pulling out from a parked position, you should:

  1. Look only to the left

  2. Look over your right shoulder

  3. Sound your horn

  4. Activate your signals

The correct answer is: Look over your right shoulder

When pulling out from a parked position, you should look over your right shoulder. This is because it allows you to check for approaching vehicles, pedestrians, or any other obstacles on the right side of your vehicle. Option A is incorrect as it suggests only looking to the left, which may cause you to miss any hazards on the right side. Option C, sounding your horn, is also incorrect as it is not necessary unless there is an immediate danger. Option D, activating your signals, is important but it only indicates your intention to turn and does not provide a clear view of your surroundings. Therefore, it is essential to check over your right shoulder before pulling out to ensure a safe and smooth maneuver.
