Yeah... My best near-dooring was last year. Wide out from parked cars and shifting along, when a bus passed pretty close. Moved in for spacing, only for a parked van ahead to throw his door wide open.
Gets more exciting as I'm on a lowracer recumbent, so the bottom of his door was about neck height. Cue hauling on the brakes, locking up both wheels, and a beautiful skid to stop about two feet short of the door.
We exchanged views.
