When it gets really cold my doors have issues. So a few months back I was leaving for work on a Tuesday morning at 2:30am. (Delivery trucks would arrive at 3:30am Tuesdays that’s why I remember). I get in the old 94 Cherokee and back down the drive. As I head down my street I see 2 cop cars stopped at the corner right before the turn I need to take out of the neighborhood. As I approach I brake and start to swing to the right just a tad to make sure they have room in case they got out of the car, and good thing I did because as I passed them MY door swung open and would have knocked the side view mirror off the cop car had I not. The cop just saw me panickingly lean and reach out with my left hand to snatch the door to pull it shut, my seat belt pops open at that moment and I almost fall out of the car but manage to close the door, fight with the seatbelt and take the turn only to continue driving wondering how far I would get before those cops pulled me over assuming I was drunk and when they find out I’m not give me a ticket for I have no idea what. The bars close here at 3am, so drunk drivers are plenty around that time.
Generally true, but I’ve had to enter my car via the trunk more than once due to the doors freezing shut.
That wouldn’t happen if you left the doors open
