I never got doored in my 14 years of Bay Area riding, though I did get some ass driving his car front wheel onto my foot once.
Now in London, I actually had a parked car explode as I passed. It was never entirely proven but the general opinion of my team was that it was aimed at me. Not so much fun.
In complete contrast my training in defensive ride/drive enabled me to project some sort of aura that meant that quite a lot of the time black cabs and even Bay Area commuters would move aside for me.
