![To avoid dooring bicyclists, Massachusetts RMV / DMV 's 2017 Driver's Manual now tells drivers to use the Dutch Reach method to see on-coming bikes. It is the safest way to open & exit cars, trucks, vehicles to protect cyclists from crashing into or hitting opened car doors. In this montage, a mock-up of the headline to reporter Steve Annear's Sept 8, 2016 Boston Globe article titled "To avoid doorings, this cyclists wants drivers to do the 'Dutch Reach'“ has been revised. The headline now says that "ma", the abbreviation for Massachusetts – no longer just a "cyclist" [Michael Charney, founder of the Dutch Reach Project ] -- wants drivers to use the far hand method to prevent dooring injuries, deaths & damages.](https://www.dutchreach.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Ma-Wants-Drivers-DR-logourl.png)
