Common Causes of Open Door Motorcycle Accidents
- Litter, trash, and other debris - Look out for items that might remain of a previous wreck. Anticipate an unrepaired pothole. If it's too late, you get thrown or take evasive action. If the bike veers too close to vehicles, a risk of the door swinging open presents itself.
- Illegally parked vehicles – Such as a delivery van that is blocking the visibility of a parking lot exit, or on the shoulder of the road.
- Right Hand Turns - motorcyclists themselves should take extra efforts to avoid riding closer to the right-hand side of the road when negotiating right hand turning maneuvers into driveways, avenues, and streets.
- Vehicles parallel parking - pay close attention to vehicles that are capable of swinging open their doors into oncoming traffic. Vehicles that have just parallel parked are notorious for not always looking before opening their door. People entering or exiting vehicles parked to the side of your path can fail to use the rear-view mirrors. Or they could fail to look behind and in front of them before entering the side of the conveyance facing the motorcyclist.
