Introduction: Running a red light refers to the behavior of motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, pedestrians, etc. who violate traffic light instructions and cross the stop line and continue driving when the red light is on and the red light is prohibited. So, what should I do if a pedestrian ran a red light in 2021? Who is responsible for being hit and killed when a pedestrian ran a red light? Let’s take a look with the editor below.
Illegal pedestrians running red lights?
Pedestrians running red lights are illegal according to the new traffic regulations. They may be subject to warnings or fines of not less than five yuan and not more than fifty yuan. If a pedestrian runs a red light and does not cause a traffic accident, it is an administrative violation and must be dealt with by fines; if a traffic accident occurs during the red light, it is a civil violation and must bear part of the responsibility when it involves civil compensation.
According to the relevant provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law, pedestrians violate Article 62 when running red lights. The relevant punishment is in Article 89:
Article 62 pedestrians passing through intersections or crossing roads shall walk on crossings or crossing facilities; pedestrians passing through crossings with traffic lights shall pass in accordance with the instructions of traffic lights; crossing through intersections without traffic lights or crossings, or crossing on sections without crossing facilities shall pass after confirming safety.
Article 89 If a pedestrian, passenger, or non-motor vehicle driver violates road traffic regulations and regulations on road traffic, he/she shall be warned or fined not less than RMB 50; if a non-motor vehicle driver refuses to accept the fine, he/she may detain his/her non-motor vehicle.
2021 What to do if a pedestrian is hit by a red light?
1. Relevant legal provisions At present, there is still a big controversy in the legal community whether a traffic accident occurs on a sidewalk zebra crossing when pedestrians run red lights is not at fault. According to previous judgments, traffic accidents on zebra crossings are generally more likely to be weak. "Road Traffic Safety Law": "When a motor vehicle passes through a road without traffic signals, it shall avoid it when a pedestrian crosses the road. When a motor vehicle passes through a pedestrian crossing, it shall slow down; when a pedestrian is passing through a pedestrian crossing, it shall stop and give way." Article 76 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that if a motor vehicle causes personal injury and property loss, the insurance company shall compensate within the limit of the compulsory insurance liability for a third-party liability for motor vehicles. The insufficient part shall be liable for compensation in accordance with the following provisions:
(I) If a traffic accident occurs between motor vehicles, the party at fault shall bear the compensation liability. If both parties are at fault, the liability shall be shared according to the proportion of their respective faults.
(II) If a traffic accident occurs between a motor vehicle and a non-motor vehicle driver or pedestrian, and the non-motor vehicle driver or pedestrian is not at fault, the motor vehicle party shall bear the compensation liability. If there is evidence to prove that the non-motor vehicle driver or pedestrian is at fault, the compensation liability of one motor vehicle party shall be appropriately reduced according to the degree of fault. If the motor vehicle party is not at fault, the compensation liability shall not exceed 10%. In other words, in addition to the legally explicit statement that "even if the pedestrian is fully responsible, the motor vehicle still bears 10% of the responsibility." If the circumstances are serious, the proportion of responsibilities that motor vehicles bear may be increased to protect the weak. Therefore, whether it is the full responsibility of the pedestrian or not, the motor vehicle owner must pay the money. It's just a matter of how much you pay. This is for the sake of protecting the weak. When I first took the driver's license, there was a theoretical test that at intersections, zebra crossings, etc., the driver should slow down and drive carefully. When a pedestrian runs a red light and is hit and killed by a car, it is generally the pedestrian that bears the main responsibility and the driver bears the secondary responsibility, except for special circumstances such as drunk driving. 2. Regarding the situation of compensation, the driver does not even have compulsory traffic insurance. Then the owner needs to compensate the money within the scope of his liability. If the driver insured compulsory traffic insurance, the insurance company will first compensate the driver. If the part is not enough, the driver will compensate the driver and the commercial insurance. Therefore, based on the secondary liability, it is basically enough that the insurance company will pay the compensation. Whether as a driver or a pedestrian, no matter what, since the rules are made, they must be followed.For pedestrians, they must abide by traffic rules. People are flesh and blood, cars are steel, and the probability of people being hit and die is very high. For drivers, drive carefully at intersections. When pedestrians cross the road, slow down to the slowest.
Who is responsible for being hit and killed by pedestrians after running a red light?
According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law", motor vehicles should be fully responsible after a traffic accident, and they will not bear the responsibility unless the pedestrian intentionally. Pedestrians running red lights are not intentional, but they can only be understood as major negligence, but the driver still has to bear the responsibility, but the driver's responsibility can be reduced. At this time, the pedestrian often bears about 70% of the responsibility.
Generally, drivers buy third-liability accident insurance. Although they cannot fully bear it, they can also reduce part of it. The rest can only be borne by the driver.
Article 76 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, if a traffic accident occurs in a motor vehicle, causing personal injury or property loss, the insurance company shall compensate within the limit of the compulsory insurance liability for the third-party liability of the motor vehicle. The part that exceeds the liability limit shall bear the liability for compensation in the following ways:
(1) If a traffic accident occurs between motor vehicles, the party at fault shall bear the liability; if both parties are at fault, the liability shall be shared according to the proportion of their respective faults.
(2) If a traffic accident occurs between a motor vehicle and a non-motor vehicle driver or pedestrian, the motor vehicle party shall bear the responsibility; however, if there is evidence to prove that the non-motor vehicle driver or pedestrian violates road traffic safety laws and regulations and the motor vehicle driver has taken necessary disposal measures, the responsibility of the motor vehicle party shall be reduced.
The loss of a traffic accident is intentionally caused by non-motor vehicle drivers or pedestrians, and the motor vehicle party shall not bear the responsibility.
When a motor vehicle is at no fault, if a pedestrian runs a red light and causes death, the motor vehicle party must still bear certain responsibility, that is, about 30% of the responsibility, while the pedestrian party needs to bear 70% of the responsibility.
