The key point is that the 'Dutch reach' is supposedly a specific technique (opening the door with the 'wrong' hand) that we teach, which prevents accidents. But in reality this doesn't exist. No one uses it. We all learn to just look, and not through some trick. And we have other reasons (e.g. better street design) so our country is more cyclist friendly, but those are ignored in lieu of some silly trick that doesn't exist and isn't needed.
