Plus if you open door into traffic while getting out and a car hits it, the door can crush you. Baffles me why they made it like this. I use drive a taxi in New york city and passengers use to open doors into traffic all the time and cars would hit the doors ripping them off. If it was hinged like this it would have slammed on the passenger killing them.

That assumes that the other vehicle is driving in the same direction, and comes up from behind.

But, with a conventional door, the same problem exists assuming that the other vehicle is driving in the opposite direction.

Shouldn't they call them "Darwin Doors?"
