At about 16:00 on May 4th, during the May Day holiday, a serious traffic accident occurred in Baishan, Jilin, causing 6 deaths and 2 injuries. We can see the specific details of this incident from the police report. The vehicle responsible for the accident was driving a white car. While driving on the road, it suddenly stepped on the accelerator and accelerated towards the parked vehicles and the normal walking people on the roadside. The behavior of the masses resulted in serious consequences of 6 deaths and 2 injuries to nearby residents. So, what legal liability will the driver responsible for the accident bear? In order to clarify this issue, we need to understand the specific reasons for this car accident. First of all, we need to determine whether the driver responsible for the accident is suspected of drunk driving. We will investigate and collect evidence to draw a conclusion through the police's blood test on the driver responsible for the accident and the safety performance of the vehicle he was driving. The possibility of drunk driving or drug driving has been preliminarily ruled out. After ruling out the above possibilities, the police believed that this was a traffic accident. The specific cause of the accident is under further investigation. Since it has resulted in 6 deaths and 2 injuries. So what legal liability should the driver responsible for the accident bear? We need to understand the legal provisions. By consulting Article 133 of the Criminal Law, we know that anyone who violates traffic and transportation management regulations and thereby causes a major accident, causing death or causing heavy losses to public or private property, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years. If there are other particularly serious circumstances, the offender shall be sentenced to 3 to 7 years in prison. This is how the law punishes motorists. At the same time, car drivers also need to bear corresponding legal responsibilities.
The above cases fully illustrate that obeying traffic rules is a very important thing. After all, traffic is no small matter. As the saying goes, if the car is not standardized, the relatives will burst into tears. I also hope this incident can give drivers who are accelerating on the wrong side of the road something to think about. How important is it to obey traffic rules? What are the consequences of not obeying traffic rules? This incident also gave everyone an important revelation. You must pay more attention to safety when driving a vehicle, otherwise you will be punished by the law.
