Is Going Against Traffic Always Fully at Fault?
1 Answers
Not necessarily, it depends on the specific circumstances. If the other party is driving normally, the party going against traffic will bear full responsibility for the accident. If both parties are at fault, they will share responsibility according to their respective proportions of fault. According to Article 76 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": In the event of a traffic accident between motor vehicles, the party at fault shall bear the liability for compensation; if both parties are at fault, they shall share the liability according to their respective proportions of fault. Below is additional information: Relevant regulations: The relevant requirements of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulate: For disputes over compensation for traffic accident damages, the parties involved may request mediation from the traffic management department of the public security organ or directly file a civil lawsuit with the People's Court. If the parties fail to reach an agreement through mediation by the traffic management department of the public security organ or do not fulfill the mediation agreement after it takes effect, the parties may file a civil lawsuit with the People's Court.
