Thanks, Robbie. I referring to motorists not being required to keep 3 feet
when passing a
parked car.

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.
