Go Dutch when You Get Out of the Car
AUTO Don't fling the door open and potentially clock pedestrians on busy streets or ding doors in parking lots. Using the "Dutch Reach," courtesy of the cycling capital of the world, open the door with your right hand, not your left. The pivot to do so draws your eye from the rear mirror to a more accurate posterior view for a full survey of your surroundings and a safe exit.
"clock pedestrians" の "clock" は文脈からするとここでは倒すような意味だと思いますが、辞書にその様な用法が出ているでしょうか？
・Oxford English Dictionary: British informal Hit (someone), especially on the head.: He clocked me but by that time they had already smashed the front of the shop door.’:
・Collins Dictionary: British, Australian and New Zealand slang: to strike, esp on the face or head
・Cambridge English Dictionary: to hit someone, especially on the head or face: Then the other guy turned round and clocked him one
イギリス英語のようですね。
