Maybe your jurisdiction has different road rules, but this seems precisely wrong. How can a driver be expected to stop on a dime for a door that opens into a travel lane with zero warning?
The responsibility for not thrusting a car door into the path of another vehicle must lie with the only person who is capable of preventing a collision - the person opening the door. Anything else would be a ridiculous policy.

I don't care if you're jaywalking, opening a car door, incapable of using the skinny pedal in sufficient quantity when entering the street, whatever, don't do it in front of other faster moving shit that will have to take evasive action regardless of what that type of traffic that other shit happens to be. You wanna jump into a traffic flow that you have no business being in on account of your speed, go ahead, but whatever happens after that is on you. A cyclist is no more at fault for hitting a car door extended 0.2sec of distance in front of them than a train is for hitting whatever tried to beat it to the crossing.
