Who is responsible for the repair costs when a training vehicle is damaged?
1 Answers
Generally, the instructor is responsible when a training vehicle is damaged. Here is a detailed analysis of the situation: 1. Instructor is in the vehicle: The instructor's presence helps ensure safety and allows for timely handling of issues. However, in sudden situations, anyone's reaction may be limited, and accidents may still occur. In such cases, the repair costs are usually the responsibility of the instructor. 2. Instructor is not in the vehicle: If the instructor is not in the vehicle, it constitutes dereliction of duty, and both the instructor and the driving school must bear responsibility. 3. Other situations: Malicious damage by the student. If the student causes severe damage to the vehicle due to reckless operation during practice, despite the instructor's proper guidance, the student should compensate for the repair costs.
