‘Dooring’ Bicycle Accidents: Why Do They Ever Occur?
Dooring bicycle accidents occur when a cyclist collides with a car door that unexpectedly opens into their path. The cyclist may not have enough time to react, leading to severe injuries or fatalities. These accidents often result from drivers failing to check their surroundings before opening vehicle doors.
