    The Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Regulations state that “A person must not cause a hazard to any person or vehicle by opening a door of a vehicle, leaving a door of a vehicle open, or getting off or out of a vehicle.”

    In an accident arising out of a situation such as this, the person leaving the door open would be liable if they caused the hazard through their actions.
