How You Open Your Car Door Matters to Cyclists
The "Dutch reach” isn’t a new dance move or a random YouTube challenge. It' s a simple move that can help prevent harm to cyclists. And you might keep your car door safe in the process, too. 1.
Typically, a person sitting in the driver’s seat of a car opens the door with the hand closest to it. It makes sense since doors are designed to be opened that way. 2.But if you happen to do that at the wrong time, you may unknowingly create an obstacle for a passing cyclist. The cyclist might be knocked down off the bike. The car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle.
3. However, the car door design and long-time habits have made the process automatically. Luckily, there ‘s a simple way to solve the problem. Open your car door with your other hand, using the Dutch reach. So instead of using your left hand, reach for the door handle with your right hand. 4.At the very least, you' ll look into your side view mirror to check for any traffic.
The Dutch are used to opening their car doors this way. All Dutch are taught it. It' s part of regular driver education. The technique dates back about 50 or 60 years in the Netherlands. In 2016 an American named Michael Charney started the Dutch Reach Project. He wanted to popularize the practice in the United States. Charney’ s efforts may be paying off. 5.
A. This will force you to turn your body.
B. Pull the handle and the door is open.
C. It is easy to do once you are used to it.
D. All you have to do is change how you open your door.
E. People are trying to change the way to open the car.
F. Clearly, the solution is for the person exiting the vehicle to check for traffic.
G. Several states now include the Dutch reach in their drivers’ handbooks.
