Met deze simpele gewoonte als bestuurder kan je het leven van fietsers redden. Een Amerikaanse campagne moet automobilisten eraan herinneren dat ze hun autoportier het best met hun rechterhand openen wanneer ze hun voertuig verlaten. Dat zou onzachte aanrakingen met fietsers kunnen voorkomen. De methode wordt er ook weleens de ‘Dutch reach’ genoemd, naar onze noorderburen, die de gewoonte al jarenlang aanleren aan beginnend chauffeurs

আপনার বাঁ দিকে দরজা থাকলে সেটা বাম হাত দিয়ে খোলাই আপনার জন্য আরামদায়ক বা সহজ।

কিন্তু এটা করলে আপনার পেছন দিক থেকে আসা সাইকেল বা পথচারী কিছুই আপনার চোখে পড়বে না।

আর সাইকেলে থাকা মানুষ বা পথচারী জানতেও পারছে না আপনি কখন দরজা খুলে বের হবেন।

সে তার গতিতে এগিয়ে আসছে আপনার গাড়ির পাশ দিয়ে, আর আপনিও সামনের দিকে মুখ বা দৃষ্টি রেখেই দরজাটা মেলে ধরলেন। ফলাফল-ওই যা বললাম একটু আগে।

If you have a door on your left hand it is easy or easy for you to open it with the left hand.

But if you do this, you will not see anything behind your back or a pedestrian.

People and pedestrians on the bicycle can not know when you will open the door.

She is coming forward at its speed by passing your car, and you keep the front or face in front of the door. The result - I said a little earlier.

To avoid this accident, develop a small habit called Dutch Reach. [Google translation]

A técnica recomendada no código de trânsito do país ajuda a prevenir acidentes

...a Guarda Civil espanhola explicou no Twitter uma técnica muito simples para evitar que colisões de ciclistas com a porta do carro: abrir à moda holandesa. É simplesmente abrir o carro com a mão mais distante da porta. Ou seja: se estamos dirigindo, é preciso abrir com a mão direita, em vez da esquerda. Esse movimento faz com que o corpo gire e seja mais natural olhar para trás, o que pode evitar uma batida com um ciclista.

自行车撞车门频发 政府推“荷兰式开车门法”, 对骑车人来说,很危险的一件事是突然有人在他们前面打开汽车车门,使其措手不及。维州政府呼吁司机们采用“荷兰式开车门法”(Dutch Reach),来避免此类事故。维州政府建议,为了避免这类事故,司机应该用离车门较远的那只手开门,这会迫使你转动身体,查看周围是否有骑车人或其它车辆。【大纪元2019年10月10日讯】, Chinese explanation of Dutch Reach article in Epoch Times Melbourne Australia

The bicycle hits the door frequently and the government pushes the "Dutch-style driving door method", One of the most dangerous things for cyclists is that someone suddenly opened the car door in front of them and made it unprepared. Victorian Government appeal to drivers who adopt " Dutch car door method " (Dutch Reach), to avoid such accidents. The Victorian government recommends that in order to avoid such accidents, the driver should open the door with the hand farther from the door, which will force you to turn your body and see if there are cyclists or other vehicles around.

Det Hollandske Greb - har hollænderne igennem flere årtier — som led i køreskole-undervisningen — lært vordende bilister en alternativ måde at åbne sin bildør på. Metoden involverer ganske enkelt, at føreren af bilen åbner sin dør med højre i stedet for venstre hånd. Denne ganske lille ændring betyder, at kroppen roteres over mod døren, og at bilisten derfor næsten uundvigeligt kommer til at kigge ud på vejbanen og i sit sidespejl øjeblikket før døren åbnes. Og dét betyder, at bilisten mindes om at kigge efter passerende cyklister, inden døren åbnes. The Dutch Reach:“…for several decades, in the course of driving school classes, the Dutch have taught car drivers an alternative way of opening their car doors. x “The method simply involves the driver of the car opening his door with the right instead of the left hand. This tiny change means that the body is rotating towards the door and that the driver will therefore almost inevitably look out onto the roadway and in his side mirror just before the door opens. x And that means the driver is reminded to look for passing cyclists before opening the door.”

Savez-vous qu'il existe une technique pour éviter de faire chuter un deux-roues, cycliste ou motard, en ouvrant sa portière de voiture ? La "poignée hollandaise". Elle est même enseignée au permis de conduire, aux Pays-Bas. Simple et efficace. Une bonne habitude à prendre.

"Entre les voitures et les cyclistes, de nombreux accidents et incidents ont lieu chaque année. Pourtant, certains peuvent être évités avec un geste très simple. Il y aurait 18 millions de vélos aux Pays-Bas pour 16 millions d'habitants. Alors forcément, avec autant de bicyclettes, les accidents sont nombreux. Mais il existe une technique pour les éviter. Une méthode hollandaise. Et elle est toute simple ! Ce geste est appelé Dutch Reach. Lorsque l'on veut sortir de sa voiture, il suffit d'ouvrir la portière avec la main droite. Cela force le conducteur à effectuer un mouvement rotatif qui lui permet de jeter un coup d'oeil derrière lui. Ainsi, il peut voir si un cycliste arrive derrière ou non. L'accident est donc évité. Une méthode enseignée lors de l'examen du permis de conduire en Hollande... et un modèle à suivre !"

"Aux Pays-Bas, ils ont trouvé une manière très intelligente d’éviter ce type de collisions. C’est ce qu’on appelle la « Dutch Reach ». Cette technique consiste à ouvrir la porte de la voiture de la main qui se trouve du côté opposé à la porte. En gros, n’ouvrez pas la porte avec la main dont vous vous servez normalement – utilisez l’autre. Cela peut ne pas sembler changer grand-chose, mais cela vous oblige à regarder par-dessus votre épaule pendant que vous ouvrez la portière, ce qui vous permet de voir s’il y a un cycliste venant dans l’autre sens."

Oberkörper dreht sich – und damit auch der Blick

Der "Niederländische Griff" sichert nicht nur Radfahrer, sondern auch den Autofahrer selbst ab. Durch das Drehen des Oberkörpers wandert der Blick quasi automatisch seitlich nach hinten – also Richtung Fahrbahn.

So hat der Autofahrer beim Aussteigen schneller einen Blick für den fließenden Verkehr auf seiner Seite.

ΝΑ ΓΙΑΤΙ ΠΡΕΠΕΙ ΝΑ ΑΝΟΙΓΕΙΣ ΤΗΝ ΠΟΡΤΑ ΤΟΥ ΟΔΗΓΟΥ ΜΕ ΤΟ ΔΕΞΙ ΧΕΡΙ

Για να μην καταλήξεις με κάποιον ποδηλάτη ή μηχανάκι κολλημένο στην πόρτα σου, το πιο απλό πράγμα που μπορείς να κάνεις- μετά την απαραίτητη ρύθμιση της ασφάλειας για τους επιβάτες, είναι να ανοίγεις την πόρτα του οδηγού με το δεξί χέρι (και αντίστοιχα του συνοδηγού με το αριστερό).

Το λεγόμενο ‘dutch reach’ είναι ένα κόλπο που έρχεται από την Ολλανδία. Εκεί κυκλοφορούν εκατοντάδες ποδηλάτες και μπορεί να σε σώσει από ατυχήματα. Όταν λοιπόν πας να ανοίξεις την πόρτα κάντο με το αντίθετο χέρι. Έτσι η πόρτα δεν θα μπορέσει να ανοίξει διάπλατα και δεν υπάρχει κίνδυνος ατυχήματος. Τόσο απλό, τόσο αποτελεσματικό.

La portiera dell’auto? Aprila come gli olandesi (ed eviterai di colpire un ciclista)

La tecnica «The Dutch Reach» viene insegnata da decenni nelle scuole guida del Paese. Ecco come funziona

Dutch Reach a dose or pill of civility from Northern Europe to prevent harm to bicyclists.

The dutch reach: pillole di civiltà dal nord Europa, Andrea Lombardo, BiciTech,12 novembre 2017.

ITALIA: l'automobile

 Dutch Reach, che potremmo tradurre con "mossa olandese". Si tratta, in realtà di un gesto semplicissimo. In Olanda agli aspiranti guidatori viene insegnato a non aprire la portiera dell'auto con la mano sinistra, ma a farlo con la destra. Questo costringe l'automobilista a girare il corpo e quindi, naturalmente, a guardare dietro se arriva qualcuno. Una soluzione semplice che però permette di risparmiare tantissimi incidenti.

DUTCH REACH, IL SALVA CICLISTI

Ridete pure quanto volete ma il "Dutch Reach" non è una cosa su cui scherzare.
Nato circa 50 anni fa nei Paesi Bassi, il "Dutch Reach", in italiano "presa olandese", è una pratica in base alla quale per aprire la portiera dell’auto si utilizza la mano lontana dalla maniglia, quindi, almeno per i Paesi con la guida a sinistra, la mano destra del conducente o la mano sinistra del passeggero. Ciò implica che chi si appresta ad uscire dal veicolo sia obbligato a girarsi verso la portiera permettendogli di guardare sopra le loro spalle per vedere se stia arrivando un ciclista o motociclista.
...

Fondamentalmente, invece di utilizzare il braccio sinistro vicino alla portiera, si utilizza il braccio destro per aprirla.
Per farlo, automaticamente gira il corpo e si posizionano testa e spalle in modo tale che si guardi direttamente fuori. Prima, attraverso lo specchietto retrovisore e poi, si può facilmente girarsi e vedere se ci sono bici in arrivo o auto o qualsiasi altra cosa.

네덜란드 운전자들이 반드시 오른손으로 자동차 문을 여는 이유

한국과 같이 운전석이 왼쪽에 있는 나라에서는 보통 운전석에 앉은 사람이 자동차에서 내릴 때 왼손으로 차 문을 여는 것이 일반적이죠.

아무래도 차 문이 몸 왼쪽에 있기 때문에 가까운 왼손이 자연스럽게 문 손잡이를 잡게 됩니다.

 

그런데 이상하게도 네덜란드에서는 운전자들은 차 문을 열 때 오른손을 사용합니다.

심지어 오른쪽 조수석에 앉은 사람도 반대 손인 왼손을 이용해 문을 열죠.

 

그렇다면 왜 네덜란드에서만 유일하게 사람들이 반대 쪽 손으로 자동차 문을 열까요?

다음은 네덜란드 운전자들은 반드시 오른손으로만 자동차 문을 여는 이유를 소개해드리겠습니다.

يعتمد السائقون الهولنديون تقنيّة تُسمّى بالـ "Dutch Reach" منذ أكثر من خمسين عاماً وهي عبارة عن فتح باب السيارة باليدّ اليُمنى أي اليدّ الأبعد عن مقبض الباب وذلك لإجبار أنفسهم على الاستدارة بجسمهم والنظر إلى الطريق في الخارج ما يسمح لهم برؤية ما إذا كان أحد راكبي الدراجات أو المشاة يمرّ بالقرب منهم وذلك منعاً للاصطدام بهم. 

ويُعلّم الهولنديون أولادهم في المدرسة وخارجها هذه التقنيّة كجزءٍ من مستلزمات الحصول على رخصة قيادة. 

وعلى الرغم من أنّ الأمر يبدو وكأنه غير مهمّ، لكنّ حوادث ضرب المشاة بباب السيارة أثناء فتحه أدّت إلى وفاة العشرات منهم حول العالم.

Nederlanders zijn zich er goed van bewust dat er altijd fietsers om ons heen zijn. In Amerika wordt 'onze' manier van uit de auto stappen nu gepromoot, om de levens van fietsers te sparen....

De 'Dutch reach', zeg maar de 'Nederlandse greep', moet daar in de Verenigde Staten een einde aan maken. Steeds meer websites berichten over de manier waarop wij onze autodeur openen, om zo de levens van fietsers te redden. De 70-jarige gepensioneerde dokter Michael Charney, zelf een fervent fietser, zit achter de 'campagne'.

"Doe het op de Nederlandse manier, het kan levens sparen." De Britse fietsersvereniging Cycling UK heeft de overheid opgeroepen een campagne te starten om alle automobilisten goed te laten kijken voor ze hun portier open doen. Gebruik daarbij de Dutch Reach, dat wil zeggen, houd het portier goed vast met je dichtstbijzijnde hand en open het met de verste hand, adviseert de fietsersvereniging.

NZ ROAD CODE 2015

New Zealand Transport Agency introduced the far hand dooring opening method into its 2015 Official Road Code in its its section on Sharing the Road with Bicyclists and other road users. Prior to 2015 the section merely advised drivers not to harm other road users when opening to exit their vehicles.

Kierowcy i rowerzyści. Na czym polega metoda the Dutch Reach?

Data publikacji: 

Trenerzy Szkoły Bezpiecznej Jazdy Renault polecają sposób holenderski – the Dutch Reach. Jest to specjalna technika otwierania drzwi auta. Metoda the Dutch Reach polega na otwieraniu drzwi samochodu ręką bardziej oddaloną od drzwi, czyli w przypadku kierowcy będzie to prawa ręka, w przypadku pasażera lewa. Postępując w ten sposób kierowca jest zmuszony do obrócenia ciała w kierunku drzwi, to daje mu możliwość spojrzenia przez ramię i sprawdzenia, czy nie nadjeżdża rowerzysta. Ta metoda minimalizuje ryzyko uderzenia rowerzysty, zepchnięcia go z roweru czy w skrajnym przypadku zepchnięcia na ulicę pod jadący pojazd. Dlatego w Holandii wprowadzono ją jako element edukacji nt. bezpieczeństwa ruchu drogowego w szkołach oraz egzaminu na prawo jazdy*.

El método "alcance holandés"

El peligro de las puertas abiertas para los ciclistas Las puertas abiertas de los vehículos representan una amenaza muy seria para los ciclistas. Al abrir la puerta de un vehículo, se sugiere que los conductores y pasajeros hagan lo siguiente: 1. Verificar el espejo retrovisor. 2. Verificar el espejo lateral. 3. Abrir la puerta con la mano más lejana (la mano más alejada de la puerta). Esto se conoce como el método "alcance holandés" porque se originó en los Países Bajos. Obliga a su cuerpo a girar, lo que le permitirá ver mejor a los ciclistas que se acercan. También evita que la puerta del vehículo se abra demasiado rápido. Esto no solo protege a los ciclistas, sino que también puede evitar que su puerta reciba daño o destrucción por un vehículo motorizado que se aproxima. Los ciclistas deben circular por lo menos a tres pies de distancia de los automóviles estacionados para evitar las puertas, tanto en las calles con y sin carriles para bicicletas. Esto mantendrá a los ciclistas fuera de la "zona de puertas" y los protegerá de ser golpeados cuando se abren las puertas Dutch Reach in spanish espanol. p 111 pdf Manual del Conductor Massachusetts DMV 2020

Let's always be aware that whether you are a driver or a passenger, when you open the car door. Use the other hand to open the car door. (Do not use the hand near the door to open the car door). Automatically, we have to turn. This helps to see the surrounding environment. There are many examples of dooring collisions & crashes in Bangkok & in Thailand

UK ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF ACCIDENTS ADVISES DUTCH REACH

Feb 1, 2017,
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), UK has endorsed the Dutch Reach Method as a recommended best traffic safety practice.  RoSPA published by web its expert finding of safety advantage.  It points out that the far hand reach method provides a continuous view of on-coming traffic whilst preparing to open and exit the motor vehicle.  It protects cyclists and exiting occupants from heedless and at times devastating harm, either by direct collision or due to dangerous swerves by bicyclists or vehicles to avoid flung open doors.

Screen shot of RoSPA's Road Safety webpage which explains & recommends the Dutch Reach Method for dooring prevention, protecting bicyclists & exiting drivers & passengers from collision.

The far hand method has been practiced in the Netherlands for about 50 years with little notice elsewhere.  Such recognition by one of the world's preeminent safety and accident prevention organizations raises this hither-to-fore nameless commonplace -- but official Dutch practice -- to new found respect and prominence.  It confers authority for its adoption well beyond the physical and linguistic borders which stalled its export, leaving it little known or neglected by the English speaking world and, as it now appears given recent globe media attention, by most every other nation as well.

Dooring in Parliament Square

Diagram shows birds eye cut-away view of a driver, such as in the UK, or a front passenger, using the far hand method to reach across one's chest to the car door latch. The motion causes the upper torso to twist, allow head to turn almost directly back over the shoulder and out back to watch for dangerous on-coming traffic before opening car door wide & exiting.

The Dutch far hand reach method naturally causes drivers or passengers to swivel & gain a clear view of on-coming traffic before fully opening & exiting the vehicle.
