The Dutch Reach: How opening your car door like the Dutch could savecyclists' lives
 

A charity has called for motorists to adopt the Dutch Reach technique
when leaving their vehicle - but what is it, and how could it keep
cyclists safe?

One of the big issues that cyclists and motorists face today is “car
dooring” - where drivers carelessly open their doors and knock cyclists
off of their bikes.

DfT data collected by charity Cycling UK revealed that between 2011 and
2015 there were 3,108 people injured and eight killed by motorists
hastily exiting their cars without checking the traffic around them.
