Here are some video instructions that show you how to open a car door. It seems that most drivers have been getting it wrong for quite a long time.

Joking aside it is a salient safety point and something we should all be aware of if it's something we've not considered.

Being a cyclist I do check carefully before opening my door anyway.

From some who has to deal with insurance claims dealing with someone opening their door I wish more people would look before they do so.

(On that insurance note, if you open your door into someone you are liable, don't try arguing with your insurer about that one. )
