Our car sits on the road and we have car seats on both sides so it does not matter which way round we park the car.
It has grated me for ages now that when I am on the roadside removing one of the children from the car that some cars drive so close to me on passing that I could touch them. It makes me feel vulnerable and unsafe and honestly one day I expect me to get crushed against the outside of my car whilst leaning in to undo seat belts.
I always look before I walk onto the road to make sure there are no cars coming but usually one ends up driving by. I also get the roadside first because if I get the pavement side out first then I would have a child standing on the pavement unattended whilst I am on the road, so I do roadside first then pavement and take them in together.
AIBU to expect cars to either give me a wider berth OR wait for the oncoming car to pass before driving past me?

To not expect cars to drive so close to me when getting children in and out of car?
