When it comes to opening car doors, people might not think about it but there is actually a certain particular way in which you should open your car door. One particular way in which you should always open your car doors is that you should always open your car door with your right hand. The only reason that you would not want to open your car door with your left hand is if you live in England or another left side of the road driving country in particular. This reason for this particular way of opening car doors with your right hand is because it is a safety in order to keep cyclist safe while on the road.
