The Dutch Reach

Great idea! Simple, effective, and saves lives.

I'm going to start doing this. A few months ago I was parked on the street and in a hurry. Even though I'm a cyclist and more aware of bikes on the road than most of the population, I opened the car door too fast and just about hit a cyclist who had just entered my blind spot. He managed to avoid my door as it was opening, and called me a name which I probably deserved. If I was practicing The Dutch Reach at the time, I would have seen him.

Pass this on to friends and family.
