New rule

And for good reason, there are tons of rules of all kinds to know before you get a chance to take this exam, which is getting more and more difficult over the years. Indeed, new laws appear regularly, which must then be taken into account when learning to drive. The latter are aimed, in particular, at making the road safer for all participants, both motorists and the most vulnerable groups, such as pedestrians or cyclists. Indeed, the latter tend to pay a very high price when it comes to road deaths, and the number of accidents involving them is increasing. However, there are ways to make their lives easier and, above all, to make them less dangerous. Including a method that has proven itself and is noticeable used in the Netherlands since many years. But what is it about? We will explain everything to you, don’t worry!

A simple gesture

It is a Dutch pen that simply consists of open the car door with the opposite hand. This means you have to watch if the bike doesn’t arrive at that time, and so avoid bumping into it in front of the door. Although this method is already studied during the driver’s license in some countries, it is not universal. But the European Union would now like to integrate it Traffic rules everywhere, even in France. Thus, this advice will be learned when learning to drive, in a strictly mandatory manner. Enough to make public roads a little safer for everyone.
