People just LOVE sittin' in parked cars these days, for no apparent reason.
The two car doors I hit were both the only cars in the vicinity, hadn't moved since I came on scene and were BITD. 1969 and 1982. Very similar to the OP's footage except lighting.
The OP was VERY lucky. The driver saw him and pulled the door shut. My experience - that's rare. I consider the line of "as far right as practible" (Oregon law) to be outside the max swing of the door.
