Don't depend on your ears to find out where another vehicle is located, use your eyes.

Don't ever swerve around a parked car's open door.

If there's parked cars, merge into the lane well ahead of them and stay out of the zone doors could open into.

Whilst your statement (don't wear headphones when riding on the road) is correct, you should probably be looking over your shoulder before entering the car lane.
