Check surroundings for pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles before opening the door.
Use the hand farthest from the door handle to open it, allowing for better visibility outside.
Open the door slowly and cautiously to avoid hitting nearby objects or people.
Look over your shoulder and use mirrors to check for approaching traffic before fully opening the door.
Avoid swinging the door open forcefully, especially in crowded or narrow spaces.
Use designated parking areas whenever possible to minimize the risk of door collisions.
If parked on the roadside, instruct passengers to exit on the sidewalk side whenever feasible.
