Opening the car door carelessly is like "opening the prison door"

Driving is a special profession, often exposed to high-risk sources, so the old people taught "opening the car door is like opening the prison door" to remind every driver to always be careful to avoid accidents, as well as not to open the prison door that locks them up with their own hands.

Opening the door to get in or out of the car is the first practical lesson that any student driver is instructed. Everyone must observe carefully, must ensure not to cause danger to people and other vehicles before opening the door.

"More than 20 years ago, when I was driving a truck on the Buon Ma Thuot - Ho Chi Minh City route, I almost killed someone because I opened the car door without looking carefully. That day, the traffic police at Station 2, Thu Duc blew their whistles and stopped the car for inspection. I was sitting in the passenger seat and opened the door and jumped out when the car pulled over to the curb but had not stopped completely. The door just opened and there was a bang!!! A woman on a motorbike crashed into the door and fell down. I jumped out in extreme fear... Luckily, at that time, because the car had not pulled over to the curb and had not stopped completely, the woman had already slowed down so the impact was light. After those terrifying moments, the woman only suffered minor injuries and she let us go. I learned a lesson about opening the car door..." - a long-distance driver said.

Recently, many accidents have led to the unjust deaths of traffic participants due to careless driving and lack of observation before opening the door. This is a painful lesson that any driver must review. To avoid unfortunate accidents, all drivers must learn to observe before opening the door to get in and out of the car, especially when opening the door to get out of the car...

Drivers should follow a principle: After stopping the car, pulling the handbrake, turning off the engine, the driver uses his left hand to pull the lock to open the door, the door will quickly open out of control. The correct way to open the door is to hold the door handle with the left hand and pull the lock to open with the right hand. With the left hand, open the door slightly, observe carefully behind, and only open the door to get out of the car when it is safe. Note that the door opens to the person exiting, not to open all the way for convenience.
