Rules of the Road

The 'Dutch reach' method for opening a vehicle door means:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Opening the driver's door with the right hand, forcing a shoulder check

The Dutch reach requires you to use the hand farther from the door (right hand for the driver). This rotates your body so you naturally look behind over your shoulder — the perfect angle to spot approaching cyclists before opening the door into them.

Why the other answers are wrong

  • A.Opening the door quickly to save timeOpening quickly increases the chance of hitting a passing cyclist; the Dutch reach is about looking, not speed.
  • C.Pushing the door with your footUsing a foot is unsafe and does not check for cyclists; the Dutch reach is a deliberate hand-and-shoulder technique.
  • D.Not opening the door until the vehicle stopsThe Dutch reach applies to getting out of a stopped vehicle; it is not about waiting for the vehicle to stop.
