How to Open a Car Door for the First Time?
2 Answers
When opening the car door, first let the door open just a small crack, then turn your head to observe the situation behind. After confirming it's safe, fully push the door open to exit. One method is to first unlock the door, then pull the interior handle; another is to pull the interior handle twice in succession.
I remember feeling a little nervous the first time I opened a car door. The door handle is usually in a prominent place on the outside. You can clearly see it's a small metal or plastic lever—just grip it with your hand and pull it upward or outward to open. Different car models operate slightly differently: most regular sedans require an outward pull, while SUV door handles are positioned higher, making an upward lift easier. Always open the door after the car has come to a complete stop; never attempt it while the car is moving for safety. If the door won't open, don't force it—it might be locked or the lock could be broken. In such cases, wait until the car stops and ask the driver or someone in the front seat to help unlock it. Don't rush when opening a car door for the first time; observe how others do it and take it slow for a smoother experience. With a bit of practice, you'll get the hang of it quickly. The door is designed this way to prevent accidental openings and make entry and exit easier—once I understood this, it felt completely natural.
