1 Answers
When your car is scratched by another vehicle and the driver flees the scene, you should promptly report the incident to the public security authorities, who will investigate and handle the matter. The fleeing driver will bear full responsibility for the hit-and-run. According to Article 71 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China,' witnesses and other individuals with knowledge of the accident should report the incident to the traffic management department of the public security authorities or to traffic police. Those who provide truthful reports will be rewarded by the traffic management department. Additional information: 1. Article 91 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' states that the traffic management department of the public security authorities shall determine the liability of the parties involved in the accident based on their actions and the severity of their fault in causing the accident. 2. Article 92 stipulates that if a party involved in an accident flees the scene, they shall bear full responsibility. However, if there is evidence that the other party was also at fault, the liability may be reduced. If a party intentionally damages, falsifies the scene, or destroys evidence, they shall bear full responsibility.
