There's little doubt that the insurer of the pirate car is going to have to pick up the tab for the damage to the car and probably a good few hundreds of pounds to the operator of the bus for repairs. |

Agreed. Finally Jester has posted something worth clicking on. In a different life I used to own taxis, the punters were always opening doors without looking. Note that in the video the passenger is a violent import who scarpered. |

Exactly what 'past experience' told you this was worth clicking on? |

Who was at fault and who should pay the bill? The automaker. They should have designed the driver side door handle to flash LEDs rearward if a hand touches the interior latch. This may give a cyclist the fraction of a second he needs to swerve, brake or otherwise mitigate the collision. Another light under the car should project an image onto the pavement indicating the zone swept out by the door as it opens. An alarm should go off as well. |

Note that in the video the passenger is a violent import who scarpered. The driver of the pirate car did himself no favours in allowing a situation where the only option available to the passenger was opening the front passenger door into the moving traffic lane because the car was stopped against the right hand kerb (even in a one-way street). He ought to have either sought out a spare bit of clear kerb on the left OR pulled up near parked cars on the left, such that no vehicle could reasonably try to pass along the passenger side of the car. Well, no vehicle except a bicycle. And as we know, it's impossible for a bike to do any damage to anything or anybody else (except for the occasions when it does). |

The driver of the pirate car did himself no favours in allowing a situation where the only option available to the passenger was opening the front passenger door into the moving traffic lane because the car was stopped against the right hand kerb (even in a one-way street). Go ahead, tell us why you call it a pirate car. He ought to have either sought out a spare bit of clear kerb on the left OR pulled up near parked cars on the left, such that no vehicle could reasonably try to pass along the passenger side of the car. Well, no vehicle except a bicycle. And as we know, it's impossible for a bike to do any damage to anything or anybody else (except for the occasions when it does). Would it be the cyclist's fault if the passenger opened the door into the cyclist's path? You have already stated the bus driver was not at fault. |
