The phenomenon(现象) of a bike rider getting hit by an opening car door is so common that it has its own term: dooring.

According to a study in Chicago, as many as 1 in 5 bike accidents are caused by car doors— in total, there is nearly one dooring each day in the Windy City (Chicago). Even when the bike rider tries to turn to the other direction to escape from the opening doors, they can end up getting hit by cars.

Then how can we reduce such kind of accident? Is there any practical way to solve that problem? Yes. It’s the Dutch Reach, which has been popular on the Internet recently. The Dutch Reach is a practice where instead of using your near hand — usually the driver’s left hand — to open your car door, you use your far hand—your right hand.

In doing that, you will turn your body around. And you turn your head and shoulders back, so you are looking directly out. First, past the rearview mirror. And then, you are very easily able to look back and see if there are coming bicycles or cars or anything else. The simplicity of the approach is part of its intelligence.
