The Dutch Reach might help drivers avoid dooring cyclists

I remember learning about this a few years back and since then I've made it a habit to always exit cars doing this method. I just didn't know it had a name (although I knew it was from the Netherlands). It's called the "Dutch Reach" apparently and it involves opening car doors with your opposite arm, forcing your body to make a slight turn and in effect making you also look out for any cyclists coming your way (either via your blindspot or your mirror). It's effective and I wish it was taught more in NYC.
