分享一篇文章： If a man riding a tricycle bumps into your car parked legally on the roadside and dies of the injury sustained, and police tell you that you should pay part compensation to the man's family, what would you think? Don't be quick to scream "unfair!" Read Article 76 of the Road Traffic Safety Law and you will know you are legally liable to pay the compensation. According to the law, "when an accident occurs involving a motor vehicle and a non-motor vehicle or a pedestrian and there is evidence proving that the non-motor vehicle or the pedestrian is fully responsible for the accident, the motor vehicle party shall bear a no more than 10 percent responsibility for the compensation". But even that amount of penalty can be painful for a motorist questioning the fairness of the law. The Beijing Evening News reported on Monday that a woman who had parked her car in a legal roadside parking lot was ordered to pay compensation for the death of a man who bumped his tricycle into the car. He died of his injuries in a hospital later. The woman posted her doubts over the law on an Internet forum to seek help from netizens. "I was not in the car and I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I pay for somebody else's fault?" she said. I would have asked the same question if I were the owner of the car. But a judge interviewed by the Beijing Evening News reporter said the woman should pay the compensation, "because the Road Traffic Safety Law does not exempt the motor vehicle party from liability in (the event of) an accident involving a motor vehicle and a pedestrian unless the pedestrian causes the accident deliberately". |
