>>If no actual contact is made, then technically, there is no liability. No crime has been committed or has occurred, at least legally.
That is actually incorrect. Opening a door in the path of any driver is technically called impeding the flow of traffic, which is a moving violation. However, if you pass the car on the right hand side and it is the passenger side door that hits, or almost hits, you then you are at fault for not passing on the left.
Like The Clash says, Know Your Rights.
