The CCU(Charity Cycling UK) recently called on to raise awareness(觉察,意识) of dooring after discovering that many people don't know what it is. Dooring is when a driver or passenger opens the door into another road user(typically cyclist) without looking for other road users.
The CCU chief officer Paul told Glou Live: ''Some people seem to see car dooring as a bit of a joke, but it's not and can have serious results. We want to see great awareness made about the dangers of opening your car door carelessly, and people to be encouraged to look before they open. '' Among the 3,000 injuries, 2,009 were cyclists, resulting in five deaths but this might not be the whole of the danger. Not all car dooring incidents will be attended by police, so the CCU has written to call for a public awareness campaign urging(敦促) all car users, not just drivers, to look before opening vehicle doors.
One of the ways the CCU suggests is the ''Dutch reach'', where people leaving a vehicle reach over and use the non-door side hand to open the door. In the Netherlands they are known for practicing a method, known sometimes as the ''Dutch reach'', which we think could be successfully encouraged in the UK. If you're really concerned about opening a door into the path of a cyclist coming behind you, consider using what’s known as the ''Dutch reach'' to open the door. That will naturally turn you in your seat and give you a much better view of what's coming up alongside in the car.
