Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: From the vehicle’s front and he should face the traffic.
When you approach your vehicle from the front, you face the oncoming traffic. So you can see approaching vehicles, estimate their speed, and wait until the road is clear before opening the door. Walking with your back to the traffic greatly limits your ability to see approaching danger. Even if other drivers are forbidden to endanger you, the responsibility for your safety remains with you too.
