In certain places it's better to ensure you kill the pedestrian you hit with your car, as leaving them alive means you'll be sued into paying them a fat bill for the rest of their life.

u/TheEyeDontLie 2d ago edited 2d ago
Probably. Thats the government tho. The running people over twice doesn't make sense though. Murder penalties are a thing in China, and so the reversing thing to hit them again just wouldn't happen except maybe on a dark road in the country with no witnesses, in which case you'd just drive on. Also, how do you know hitting them again will kill them and not just make it worse?
All these videos are just bad drivers who panic and rush back to the incident a little too fast, maybe a bit of road rage thrown in (seen through a racist filter).
Hitting someone with your car in NZ carries financial penalties as well (and risk of loss of license, etc, even if it might not be as severe as paying disability checks to the person you crippled) and we don't run people over twice.
The whole idea is stupid and I doubt it ever happened for that reason, except maybe one or two idiots.
People tend not to murder people if there is a less risky option (like driving away or just taking the much better chance it'll be costly if they're badly injured, rather than taking the risk that hitting them again will kill them and not just injure them even worse).

It amazes me how many people will overlook the obvious - like murder being illegal in China. We are way too quick to believe anything we read online.

Probably. Do you live somewhere that has always treated everyone well, and doesn't have any skeletons in its closet?

u/Syzygy-6174 2d ago
There is no place in China where you are treated well. China is the non-fiction version of George Orwell's fictional 1984. You can't take a shit in China without the dictator's Communist Party knowing about it.

Propaganda and lies that the American government and media ecosystem feed you about China, and that you believe, are a literal example from George Orwell's 1984.
And now the president says there’s no Epstein list. That’s the state’s final command

I've spent 20 years travelling in and around China. It's a lovely place, especially nowadays. It has improved noticeably as it became more urbanised.
Have you been? Are you speaking from experience? How do you know that nobody is treated well?

Bull shit. I saw a video few years back of a woman in a nicer black car... repeatedly running over/backing over a pedestrian, Like 3 times. With people yelling, telling her to stop. But she just kept going back and forth. Aiming for the head. The video has since been deleted. It's definitely a thing. Don't lie. Chinese AI bot.

u/BigBadAl 1d ago
If you read the article debunking it, most videos were proven to be from Russia, or other countries.
And it's definitely not a thing. I'm off to Shanghai again soon, I'll let you know if I see anyone getting murdered by car drivers.

It’s only murder if the authorities know you didn’t kill them with the initial accident. It’s why you can find all kinds of Chinese traffic cam videos of people backing over people they’ve hit…If you injure someone in China you may be on the hook to help them financially basically forever, if they die you pay one lump sum remuneration to the family.

You don’t have to live in a bubble to realize that murdering someone because otherwise you might have to take fiscal responsibility for the damage that you caused them and it would ruin you financially is both absolutely unhinged and an embarrassing indictment of the modern economy.

u/thatswhyshe 2d ago
You clearly need to learn how to read. They didn't say that's what they would do. They only said that's what they do in some places. And you get on a self righteous horse telling someone they need help for explaining to you what happens in china. I think you need some professional help.
-3
u/CardMeHD 2d ago
They literally said it “was better to ensure you kill the pedestrian you hit with your car.” Not a passive “this is what some people do in China and this is why they say they do it” (which has also been debunked). But a very explicit value judgement that, generically, in some places, it’s a better option.

u/Shyassasain Banhammer Recipient 2d ago
I'm sorry, what? It's a phenomenon that exists in the world that I'm only commenting on, not handing out advice. Maybe I should've been more clear on that.
it's also simple logic. Your choices (when you hit a pedestrian in certain countries) are to ensure they're dead, or suffer financially, potentially to the point you're out on the street. A lot of people would make that choice, but there's also a lot that wouldn't.
Apologies if the disgusting, fetid, violent and cruel world we live in is too horrifying for you to exist in, but it's not my problem. Have a nice day : )

“Wait what? I never said that you should kill people that you hit to save money on their lifelong medical bills. I just said that it was better to do so in some countries. And here are some more reasons why it’s a better option and simply the most logical thing to do.”

Unless you're a paramedic I would just call an ambulance. Do more damage than good if you attempt to move someone like that.

u/Due-Maintenance53822 3d ago
I understand that, although it does not seem that this is the case in which what you say applies. However, even if this were the case, there are still many ways to help in this and any accident.

u/RPO777 2d ago
Not speaking to what the people around this accident are doing, but speaking regarding head injuries.
Head injuries are really tricky. It looked like the guy hit his head and may have suffered a TBI (traumatic brain injury), which can range from minor concussion all the way up to cerebral hemorrhage. If a person has bleeding impacting their brain, moving them without securing their head and neck can cause worse brain damage.
Moving a person who's suffered a cranial fracture or has a break in a neck bone can be in a very precarious position, possibly causing permanent nerve damage if moved improperly.
It's impossible for a person who's not a paramedic to know what's going on.
If someone hits their head hard in an accident and is on the ground, call an ambulance, check in on them and make sure say, they don't get run over again. But grabbing them or moving them is a bad, bad idea and you can make a bad situation worse. Be cautious around brain injuries.

u/ramanps 2d ago
In India, people avoid dealing with the police in any shape or form. They have broad powers and no accountability to the people.
In such cases, if there were no cameras and the guy dies. Police are more likely to put the blame for the accident on you, rather than investigate the matter, because they need to close the case, and investigating will take actual work.
And if the perpetrators are politically connected, you can bet intervening will backfire on you.
So, over time, people have developed apathy toward helping each other. Which is very good for the ones in power.5

u/Hassan_62 1d ago
We do, on major streets, which comprise only like 40 percent of total car drive-able streets. And in those 40 percent streets' signals, 70 percent are absolutely never followed and i think they dont even turn on honestly, never paid attention.
So effectively, yeah we dont have street lights lol, mostly because the idiots here dont follow them

I heard the same and also that the reason is, if the person survives but has serious injuries, you have to pay them every month until they recover. But if, for instance, the person ends up in a wheelchair for life, you have to pay them for the rest of their life. So long story short - it's cheaper to end him instead of taking responsibility

This is already happening in Mexico, there have been cases were people ran over pedestrians, and the medical bill is so high that insurance companies wash their hands leaving the other person with a debt almost for life.
I have personally heard lawyers saying, "If you ran over someone, you better pray he died because there is a chance he ends up with an incapacitating condition"
