dooring
Car door hazard
Dooring is a collision that occurs when someone opens a vehicle door into the path of an oncoming cyclist or pedestrian.
The term emerged from urban cycling advocacy: She was doored on her morning commute.
Dooring can cause serious injuries and is a traffic violation in many jurisdictions.
