Was chatting with my mother, who grew up in the Netherlands and learned to drive there, about the perils of being doored, and she related something from her driver's ed. In Holland, it was mandatory training for drivers education that drivers would have to open their door with their RIGHT hands. This forces the driver to turn their bodies to the left and hence they look down the road...brutually simple. Is this taught at all in driver's education courses?
Mike, excellent tid bit... Every-time I've traveled to europe, I've discovered some valuable product or tid bit that makes my life easier in some manner or another.
I do not believe that valuable tid bit you learned will ever be taught in american drivers school. Mostly, because drivers schools are independent companies, teaching the minimum to a diverse customer base.
