Vehicle Code of Conduct:
* State Laws: While the federal government does not have any laws specifically prohibiting driving with a passenger door open, many states and localities do. These laws typically require that all doors of a vehicle be closed and properly latched while the vehicle is in motion.
* Safety Concern: Driving with a door open can be a safety hazard, especially in moving traffic. It can obstruct the driver's view, potentially leading to collisions or accidents. Furthermore, occupants of the vehicle may be at risk of falling out or being injured by passing objects.
* Obstruction of Traffic: An open door can also obstruct traffic, particularly in crowded areas or on narrow roads. This can hinder the smooth flow of traffic and inconvenience other drivers.
Therefore, while it may not be specifically illegal in all jurisdictions, driving with the passenger door open is generally discouraged and may result in legal consequences.
