It's not okay to open the door like this

"Opening the door to kill" is a behavior that hurts others and yourself. When we open the car door, we must pay attention to the surroundings. The following types of careless opening of the door to kill are not allowed!

1. Stopping the car suddenly on the road and letting passengers get off . Some drivers stop the car suddenly while driving. In this case, if the passengers open the door and get off, there is a high probability of collision with non-motor vehicles coming from behind.

2. The taxi stops on the roadside and the passengers rashly open the door . Some taxi drivers stop on the roadside, and very few passengers open the door without any observation of the situation outside the car after paying the fare, which is very likely to cause accidents.

3. After the car is parked in a roadside parking space, the driver opens the door at will . When the driver gets out of the car after parking it in a roadside parking space, if he opens the door without checking the situation of the vehicles coming from behind in advance, it is easy to collide with the non-motor vehicles or bicycles driving behind.

Important reminder : Parking is prohibited on the driving lane . Observe first and then get off!

Whether for the driver or the passengers, before opening the car door, what they must do is to observe first, that is, observe the traffic conditions of surrounding vehicles and pedestrians, and then open the car door and get off after ensuring safety .

A simple action, as long as it is done, can often reduce the risk. The traffic police remind that as drivers and passengers, you should do the following:

1. Drivers should develop good parking habits and park in a place that neither affects other vehicles nor hinders the passage of pedestrians.

2. Passengers should develop the habit of getting off the vehicle from the right side. Most importantly, it is prohibited to park the vehicle on the driving lane .

3. After parking, the driver is obliged to remind the passengers in advance, especially those sitting in the back seat, to keep an eye on the pedestrians and vehicles passing by the vehicle, and only open the door and get off after confirming that it is safe .

Dutch door opening method

When the driver or passengers get off the car, they can use the Dutch door opening method to effectively avoid the "door opening killer". The Dutch door opening method is a method used by drivers in the Netherlands to open the car door with the hand that is farther away from the door, thereby reducing the visual blind spot .

Simply put, if you drive on the left, you open the door with your right hand, and if you drive on the right, you open the door with your left hand. In this way, the upper body will also rotate by inertia, and the head and shoulders will naturally rotate. During the rotation process, the eyes will first observe the situation behind the car through the rearview mirror, and after turning around, the eyes will naturally look outward and backward.

This complete action can better see whether there are pedestrians or vehicles behind the car, thus avoiding many unnecessary accidents. On the contrary, if you open the door with your hand closer to the door and don't pay special attention to the situation behind, the driver will naturally push the door directly outward without having time to observe the situation behind.
