Car Doors

Why do car doors open in a counter-clockwise direction as opposed to a clockwise one (as did many when cars where first invented)?

Opening a door in a clockwise manner, you only need to twist and turn you body about 10-15 degrees to get out (if that); doing the opposite means you hafta go at LEAST 45 degrees; in many times, it's more like 60-70 degrees. How many people have hurt themselves doing this? Who knows; is there a cumulative strain effect on the back? Maybe. Why the hell do the doors open this way?
