The Dutch reach – an open-and-shut case

A simple way to help cyclists

Sir, – Drivers need to use what it called the Dutch reach when opening their doors.

This is the act of opening the door where, rather than using your hand closest to the door, you use your far hand, which results in the driver turning their head and seeing what is coming before opening the door.

Cyclists who will be spared injury will appreciate this simple action. – Yours, etc,

JOHN BERGIN,
