    the lane is actually marked on the road with a bicycle symbol.
    She wasn't going fast.
    The door opened when she was a few feet away [it's clearer on the video from her helmet cam] so she had virtually no time to react.
    She wasn't going fast indicated by she only tipped sideways.
    There's a law that makes it clear if you open a door on a cyclist, it's YOUR FAULT.
    The Victorian government imposed even tougher on-the-spot fines in 2012 for people who opened car doors in the direct path of cyclists.


    Some people don't seem to get these facts.....
