A campaign to raise awareness of "car-dooring" is needed to save lives on Britain's roads, Cycling UK has said.
The campaign group says cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians are being injured and killed by drivers and their passengers carelessly opening doors.
It's suggesting an information campaign, warning cyclists to ride further into the carriageway, to avoid the swing of car doors.
It also wants higher fines for careless door opening.
This manoeuvre involves the driver or passenger on the right-hand side of the car opening the door with the left hand - forcing them to turn and see if anyone's approaching.
It's a mandatory part of Dutch driving tests.
I call on the government to start investigating how they can better educate and train drivers about the dangers of car-dooring.
"It's much safer cycling some way into the road because if you cycle next to the kerb you've got car doors to worry about and you're much more likely to have to swerve to avoid a pothole or a dropped manhole cover."
Mr King said driving instructors for BSM and the AA already typically taught the opposite hand door-opening method.
