When I used to ride my push bike everywhere it used to happen me all the time, people just dont look in the mirrors before they open the car door.

When I did my driving lessons my isntructor taught me to look in the mirror before I opened the car door for this very reason.

I've never had it happen to me on the SV, It must be pretty scary, I am always aware that it might happen though

Sorry to hear you had a scare Jase least your OK and so it your bike, I bet it frightened the car driver to and that hopefully they've learnt a lesson and dont do it again
