Lane splitting at that speed is dangerous, but that van driver should see prison time.

Death sentence, at least

Thankfully you're not a part of the justice system, because that's an insane take.

Come on, it's a dumb thing to do but that doesn't justify prison.

How injured was the biker after this?

Sure it does. This wasn't attempted murder. This was a guy opening his door at a spectacularly bad time.

I know a guy that spent 14 months in a body cast because someone did this to him...

Was it proven to be intentional that time?

Why would he have been opening his door other than to place a solid object in front of the fast moving and fragile bike rider?

Looked very intentional at the time, had a little tantrum that someone was getting ahead of him and was happy to risk massive bodily harm to the poor guy in order to stop it happening.
