BTW, the 2002 State Bentley that HM Queen Elizabeth II uses is equipped 
with suicide doors. Supposedly it is easier for the chauffeur to open 
the rear door and the Queen exits in a forward position rather than 
facing the back and having to go around the open door. From a security 
standpoint also she is protected by the armoured door at her back. With 
a regular forward-opening door, she would be exposed at her back while 
exiting. No matter, they are really neat looking, I think.
