Unfortunately it works less well with the American style magnifying outside mirrors. The non magnifying give you a bit better overview in that case as cyclists (and pedestrians) come from everywhere where you don't expect them.
- thanatos519 7y agoI thought the point of the Dutch Reach is that you look in the mirror and keep twisting so you're looking backwards as you open the door. Mind you, I can't remember the last time I was in a car, so I could be getting it wrong. «I can't remember the last time I was in a car» ← the real benefit of living in a city made for humans!
- consp 7y agoI was taught to first look in the mirror to see oncoming traffic from behind and then look over your shoulder and afterwards open the door. Yes you can force that by using your opposite hand but that is just a trick to force you to look which you should do anyways no matter what hand you use.
