語源

The term was coined by an American physician in 2016^[1] for the purpose of promoting the far hand reach method to prevent dooring. The Dutch language has no name for the maneuver,^[2] and the Dutch historically referred to it simply as “the way one opens the car door.” The first known description of the method appeared in 1961 in a Dutch newspaper.^[3]

   • 2018 October 17, Gwyn Topham, “Highway Code to promote ‘Dutch reach’ to protect cyclists”, in The Guardian‎^[4]:

     It is proposed that the code will highlight the Dutch reach, a method of opening car doors by turning and using the hand furthest from the handle, which forces drivers or passengers to look behind them for passing cyclists.
