Traffic accident responsibility
In case of a traffic accident, three responsibilities are asked.The first is responsibility under the criminal law.If a person is killed or injured due to a traffic accident, he will be held criminal liability.If the law violation is significant, it will naturally be subject to criminal penalty.
The second is civil responsibility.In case of death or injury of a person by a traffic accident, as the "illegal conduct responsibility" of Article 719 of the Civil Code, we will be responsible for treatment costs, leave compensation compensation, survivor compensation, consolation fee etc.In other words, it is damages.
Before that, however, the responsibility to the opponent, in some cases, the social mobilization responsibilities will also be questioned.This is the third responsibility."Because I received criminal punishment, I paid compensation, so there will be no problem" and I will never question the responsibility on criminal or civil affairs, if there is a fault, I will do my best to my partner I have to ask for forgiveness.
Measures against accidents
What is more important than anything is to keep in mind that each driver does not cause an accident.Bikes can run on the roadway beyond the speed limit of mopeds.It is important to strongly recognize that "a bicycle is a dangerous vehicle."
In automobiles, the recognition that the "existence is dangerous" is widely shared, and countermeasures against "safety" have been carried out.This is probably because there is a principle that "a car should always be kept safe".Certainly the safety measures taken by cars are in fact reducing the accident.
Speaking of bicycles, whether bicycle or tire wears down, whether the light is broken or not, it is self-responsibility whether or not it is wearing a helmet, and even if it is actually a violation of the Road Traffic Act, attention to police officers It is rare to be done.
Also, although it is said that the manner of passenger cars of bicycles is bad, even if the signal changes from yellow to red, the car crossing over the intersection at a tremendous speed, somehow managed to park, parked in a parking area, on a bicycle coming from behind I am a driver who can open the driver's seat without noticing it.Indeed, unlike bicycles without a license system, drivers for cars are those who studied the Road Traffic Act and passed the subject examination and obtained a license.Besides, those who are driving dangerously can be said to be bad with confidence.
I think that the rate of appearance of people who break manners, bike and car do not change very much.Because the one who is riding a bicycle may get on the car the following day, and vice versa.However, even if it violates the Road Traffic Law, it will not be enforced as much as a car, which could cause a catastrophic accident, so it seems that the eyes seen are more severe.
