The dangers of dooring
And the bigger issue is we have motorists who want us to ride far right in the door zone and think we are being very rude, if not illegal when we ride out of the door zone. In a discussion with our Director of Bicycle and Pedestrian Access who does have some background in law said that a car door is only considered a hazard (the lawful requirement we need in order to avoid) when a person is present in the car. There is a lot I can say about that but this news report should suffice as a good enough rebuttal.
