Dutch Reach image w text right hand 122916

A driver on left as in USA or a passenger on left front seat as in UK uses his right, far hand to reach the door latch, swiveling torso and head naturally left and back to look for oncoming traffic. In this image, the occupant sees an on-coming cyclist. This drawing shows how Dutch Reach enables a safer exit from vehicles by making it easy to turn and look back over one’s shoulder and be continuously vigilant before and while opening a car door to exit. Caption in image summarizes the Dutch Reach method: Reach (with far hand), Turn, Look, Open.
