    A useful tip that drivers in the Nederlands are taught, when opening a car door always use the hand furthest from the door to open it. So if you are the driver use your left hand.
    May sound odd but by doing this it forces you to turn your body and naturaly you'll being looking over your shoulder for any cars coming from behind.

    Let's be honest - unless you're going to drive in any built-up area where potential hazards are abound, at less than a quarter of a mile per hour or something equally impractical, then you're breaking the "always drive at a speed at which you could stop..." rule - let's just be straight about it & admit that life comes with risks. :cool:

    I agree.

    If we all stuck to the recommendations then the country would come to a stand still.
