bike rider doored by taxi, page-74

She reckoned her bike was damaged.

But as far as the passenger goes, how would he check for traffic without either opening the door or winding down the window? Only the taxi driver could see in his door mirror, and that would be difficult.

I have little sympathy for the rider. Riding at speed past a stationary taxi is asking for trouble.

BTW, NSW has legalised "lane filtering" (riding between the cars) for motor cycles in some cases to help ease traffic congestion.
