You probably didn't know that there is a right way and a wrong way to open a car door. They don't teach us this in driving school, because it seems like a perfectly logical thing to do. If we were to do the exam in the Netherlands, we could be covered for that. Have you ever heard of peeling a car door the Dutch way? Why is this important? Because this type of opening prevents a passing cyclist or motorcyclist from being hit with the door. Many people open the door before looking to see if a cyclist/motorcyclist is approaching. With this maneuver, that can't happen to you.

Using a smartphone while walking has become a common habit. The appearance of "zombies", i.e. pedestrians engrossed in their smartphones, is becoming an increasingly pressing problem in urban traffic. Because of people's carelessness, many traffic accidents happen. Some time ago, the Germans answered this with floor traffic lights (LED lights built into the pavement that glow red and green), and in the Netherlands they invented a similar type of traffic signal that responds to the challenges of the time. Those in charge probably can't prevent us from using a smartphone, but they can prevent accidents...
