I don't think it's the reach itself, but the fact that we're trained to look in the side mirror before opening the door. And are generally aware of the fact that bikes exist. That last one is pretty fundamental in all aspects of traffic safety.

I mean, Australian drivers are generally aware to check for kangaroos, but American drivers, not so much. The more of something there is, the more traffic awareness of it there will be.
