about 2 months ago, I got doored on locust b/t 16th and 17th. Traffic's stopped and I'm cruising along in b/t the two lanes. I guess I was distracted, I was having an awful night, but it seemed as though this woman just threw her door open instantaneously. I tried to swerve, but as the door opened further, I ran out of room, catching the door partially on the drops of the bars and half on my shoulder and I flipped of my bike. I got up and started to give the woman hell, (probably more aggressively than I should have) but after a few seconds of being totally focused on yelling at her, I realized she had an open beer in her hand. That kinda pissed me off. I’ve wondered since then if there was something I could have done about that, exploiting the fact that it’s illegal to have an open container of alcohol in a vehicle. I've had the feeling you describe, but this, obviously, was not one of them.
