Now the number of cars in my country has exceeded 400 million, and the increase in cars has also brought certain pressure to road traffic, and traffic jams and parking difficulties are often encountered. In addition, some traffic accidents often occur, which have a great impact on road traffic.
Now there are not only cars on the road, but also various non-motor vehicles and pedestrians. There are always people with indifferent safety awareness and violating traffic regulations, which has led to accidents. The current road traffic safety is a relatively serious problem.
Pedestrians are always a vulnerable group when facing various mechanical vehicles on the road. If a collision really occurs, the harm caused by pedestrians is often greater. So should the pedestrian running a red light be held responsible when he was driving?
This problem contains several situations, so it cannot be generalized. The most common ones are the following situations. Depending on the situation, the responsibilities borne by the car owner are also different. The traffic police also explained:
First: The car drives normally in compliance with traffic rules and slows down the speed to avoid pedestrians, but because pedestrians run red lights, they do not walk on the sidewalk. In this case, the driver of the car itself has no responsibility, but it is a relatively big thing to cause pedestrian death. Often the traffic police will ask the driver to bear about 10% of the responsibility, and this part can be compensated through insurance.
Second: Car drivers also have a few violations, such as speeding 20%, but pedestrians have greater responsibility because they run red lights, so traffic police often determine that car drivers account for 30%, and pedestrians have to bear greater responsibility.
Third: Motor vehicle drivers are also driving normally. Pedestrians have violated the rules when running red lights, but pedestrians are on the sidewalk. In this case, many car owners believe that they should not bear responsibility. In fact, this may not be the case in reality, because pedestrians walked on the sidewalk. Because even if pedestrians run red lights, in places like sidewalks, car owners should lower their vehicle speed, because if the vehicle speed is low, most situations will not cause pedestrian death. It is precisely because of the vehicle speed and sidewalk that the traffic police may determine that both parties account for 50% of the responsibility. Of course, this part of the responsibility for automobiles can be compensated through insurance.
The fourth situation is that the motor vehicle driver chose to escape after hitting the pedestrian to death. In this case, even if the pedestrian is at fault or the full responsibility of the pedestrian, as long as the driver escapes, he should bear full responsibility. When there is a collision, if there is a serious problem, call 120 and call the police in time instead of escaping.
The last situation is that the driver is drunk, drunk, or drug-driver. Even if a pedestrian runs a red light and an accident occurs, the driver should bear all the responsibility and will face penalties under the criminal law.
So when driving, the majority of car owners must not only strictly follow traffic rules, but also always improve their attention and observe the dynamics of other vehicles and pedestrians to avoid safety accidents.
