The term “dooring” refers to the act of opening a motor vehicle door into the path of another road user (typically a cyclist).
Minnesota Statute 169.315 strictly prohibits dooring. The law states that no person shall open any door on a motor vehicle unless and until it can be done without interfering with the movement of other traffic.
What’s more, no person shall allow any door to remain open for a period of time longer than necessary to load or unload passengers.
