btw, ditto on the driver's actions, a complete ****** for leaving the scene. i was doored a couple of weeks back and the driver was nice enough to offer to take me to the ER.
Obviously occasionally it may be necessary if swerving to avoid something, but the reality is that it's only necessary in rare circumstances. If I have to ride in the door zone there is no way I'll be going more than 10mph. Anyone that gets doored once has my sympathies, anyone that gets doored twice...
