Finally, doring is another easily avoidable crash. Doring is a term to describe a driver or a passenger opening their car door into the path of an oncoming person biking. The consequences can be severe either hitting the person on a bike or causing them to swerve into traffic behind them before opening your car door. Look over your shoulder closest to the door and check your rear view and side mirror to make sure there aren't people on bikes, scooters or other vehicles coming up behind you, open your door slowly with caution. As a driver, it is your responsibility to make sure it is clear before opening your door. Thanks for sharing the road.
