Human Factors
While driving the bridge to the aircraft the 737-900 door was opened prior to the bridge docking or the required two knocks by myself. While driving I don't expect to see the door get popped which is extremely distracting while I am moving heavy equipment towards an aircraft. If the slide had been deployed it could have caused me serious harm or even death. I file an average of 3 or 4 [safety reports] on this exact issue every single week. This has got to stop.
