Being legally right matters less when you get seriously injured unless your goal is to sue the bejeezsus out of the offender after the fact.

Reminds me of an incident in China...

Yes, drivers should be educated and fined heavily for such reckless actions, but it's much harder to control the actions of children, passengers, tourists, etc. This is absolutely one example of where you'd be a fool if you believe dooring can be resolved anytime soon. Meanwhile, just go slower and take a few extra minutes to reach your destination unscathed (hopefully).
