With the continuous development of industrial technology, cars have been fully popularized, and many families have swingers. The rapid increase in cars has facilitated people's travel and also brought many safety accidents. If a vehicle collides with a vehicle, it is easier to deal with, and whoever violates the rules will be responsible. What is difficult to deal with is the collision between vehicles, pedestrians and non-motor vehicles. Sometimes, the owner is obviously not wrong, but still has to bear 10% of the "humanitarian" responsibility.
Is it okay if the owner bears 10% compensation liability?
When the owner of the car Mr. Sun drove through an intersection, he saw the green light on, and Mr. Sun stepped on the accelerator to prepare for passing. Unexpectedly, a man in his 40s suddenly rushed out next to him, although the car was not fast at that time. But when Mr. Sun found out, it was too late to brake and knocked the other party to the ground.
Mr. Sun braked the car and quickly got out of the car to check the other party's injuries. He had greater responsibility for this accident caused by pedestrians running a red light. But after seeing Mr. Sun, the other party directly attacked Mr. Sun, saying that Mr. Sun violated the rules and asked him to compensate him for his medical expenses and mental loss fees .
If the injured person was taken to the hospital for a check-up, Mr. Sun would still be willing, but the other party opened his mouth and asked for medical expenses, which made him unacceptable. Mr. Sun said: You are the one who runs the red light, not me, my driving direction is the green light, and even if the traffic police come, it is your responsibility. Why should I compensate me?
both sides argued and finally called the police. After the police learned about the situation on the scene, they confirmed that the pedestrian was hit after running a red light. They ruled that the pedestrian would bear the main responsibility for the accident, but out of humanitarian principles, Mr. Sun would bear 10% of the compensation liability.
The traffic police's penalty caused dissatisfaction among the car owner. Since it was the other party's violation, why should I bear the responsibility? Traffic police said that the other party is a pedestrian and belongs to a "vulnerable group". Based on humanitarian principles, they should pay a little. Although Mr. Sun is very reluctant, the traffic police have already imposed a punishment, so he can only accept it.
In the eyes of many people, should Mr. Sun bear this 10% compensation liability? If the motor vehicle does not violate traffic rules, he will bear the responsibility. Who dares to drive out in the future? There were already rules for pedestrians, but now there are personalitarian principles. In the face of pedestrians who are rushing around, motor vehicles that abide by laws and regulations are more like "vulnerable groups."
Some people also think that traffic police are also judged according to traffic regulations , and the traffic police’s punishment is not wrong. According to Article 76 of the " Road Traffic Safety Law ", if a traffic accident occurs between a motor vehicle and a non-motor vehicle driver or pedestrian, and there is evidence to prove that the non-motor vehicle driver or pedestrian is at fault, the law enforcement officer may appropriately reduce the responsibility of one motor vehicle according to the degree of the fault. If the motor vehicle is not at fault, it shall bear no more than 10% of the compensation liability.
Seeing this rule, many people think that as long as a motor vehicle is on the road, there is already 10% responsibility on his shoulders. Regardless of whether the owner is wrong or not, this 10% responsibility will definitely not be able to escape. This statement makes many owners unbearable.
Previously, traffic regulations were incomplete. After an accident between a motor vehicle and a pedestrian, if one of the motor vehicles did not have any fault, but based on the principle of taking care of the "vulnerable groups", the traffic police will determine that the owner will bear 10% of the responsibility. However, is now becoming more and more complete, and the traffic police’s law enforcement has also become humanized. While protecting motor vehicles, it has also begun to pay attention to the rights and interests of motor vehicle owners.
Before, a traffic accident occurred in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. A electric tricycle collided with a normal driving sedan, and the driver of the electric tricycle was injured. The owner of the electric tricycle feels that although he runs a red light, the car also has to take responsibility.
However, their idea was rejected by the traffic police. After the traffic police investigated, they determined that the car was not responsible and did not need to bear a penny of compensation. The electric tricycle mainly bears all the responsibility for the accident.
Summary:
Although there are many transportation systems that protect the interests of pedestrians, as traffic participants, each of us should establish a sense of safety and put life safety first. Don’t think that with the protection of traffic rules, you must be safe. It is not advisable to challenge the law with your life.
