【HaiChuan Discussion】Should pedestrians who run red lights while looking at their phones be held responsible for accidents?
Thread Content
A pedestrian was found guilty of causing death by using a smartphone while crossing the road; what’s your opinion? Reports suggest that a woman crossed the road against the traffic lights and used her phone while doing so; she then collided with a moving motorcycle. Surveillance footage shows that she tried to speed up in order to avoid the oncoming motorcycle, but this still led to the accident, resulting in the death of the motorcycle rider and serious injuries to her own. Recently, the court of the First People’s Court in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, sentenced the defendant to 10 months in prison for the crime of traffic accident, with a one-year suspension of execution. What do you think?
I think I should take responsibility, the main responsibility!
Every traffic participant should be responsible for traffic violations.
