The truck driver was an asshole, not looking before popping his door open.

side mirrors, they're there for a reason.

There were no geniuses involved here. The car door opener didn't look first and the biker was cutting things too close. Yes that oncoming truck in the middle of the road didn't give him much of a margin for error, but he could've pulled over before he got to the car and waited for it to pass.

most people seem to set them to serve as rearview mirrors rather than blind spot mirrors(the latter being what they are intended for)

I am always worried about this on my scooter. I try and keep at least one lane away from the parking lane, if it's possible. If it isn't possible, I go really paranoid and slow down, and watch like a hawk.

I wonder what the law is in Poopystan about opening car doors. I also wonder what the law is in the USA and states about opening car doors and wiping out bikers. Poopystan seems to be in Asia, but there is english on some of the trucks. India, or Phillipines?

In my country, if it happens between two cars, the moving one is responsible. You should expect that situation, leaving enough space, slowing down.

With a lot of crazy people, and unexpected event, i do the same.. I trust my eyes, not the green light.. when moving between lanes, i look three or four times.
