suicide doors

A four-door car with rear doors that are hinged in reverse.

The Lincoln Contintals of 1961 - 1970, the new Rolls-Royce Phantom, and the upcoming Lincoln Continental retro car (yes, you read that right).

suicide door

A door in a building on the second floor or higher leading outside that probably had a balcony or porch at one time, but now leads to nowhere. A door like this where there is something soft at the ground to cushion your fall does not count as a suicide door.

If you're going over to my aunt's house, watch out for the suicide door on the third floor.

suicide doors

Doors such as those on pickups, the Honda Element, etc. that are double and open in opposite directions. So called because of the supposed danger of falling out while the vehicle is in motion.

I tried to open the suicide doors on my Element while it was on the Golden Gate Bridge.

suicide doors

Doors that open the oposite way than they usually do. Used in the 1930's by gangsters because they could easily hang out of their car with their tommy guns and shoot at the vehicle that was following them.

In the movie Dick Tracy they use vehicles with suicide doors.

Suicide Doors

Car doors that open backwards. In the early 1900s most cars were sold to elderly because they were the only people who could afford them. The term suicide door originated before Drinking and Driving became illegal.

While the car was still moving, an intoxicated driver would open the door to vomit and would be pulled out of the vehicle.

Grandpa opened them suicide doors to throw up and he got runned over by his own car.
