Motorists are required to keep a 3 foot distance when passing a bike. That is what Darin wants enforced.
As to the original issue - the cop should have ticketed BOTH parties. It is illegal to open a door into traffic, so the car driver obviously did not exercise due care either. I hate to say that a bicyclist should be ticketed for getting doored - after all, getting doored is punishment enough, but if the cop felt she had to ticket the bicyclist, then she should have cited the driver as well. My advice - note I am not a lawyer - would be to go to court and fight the ticket. The cop may feel she had to ticket the bicyclist, but the judge can dismiss it.
