Accidents come from carelessness, and we often take chances in our daily lives. For example, no one on the road can run a red light without traffic police, and if the water is good, you can go for a wild swim. But the danger is often in an instant, and behind every regulation is a history of blood and tears, so abide by the regulations and avoid risks.
Summary of the case
Zhang, from Nanning, Guangxi, is a retired worker. A few years ago, his wife passed away. Life alone will inevitably be a little boring.
In order to pass the time, Zhang likes to go to the river to watch others fish on weekdays, and sit by the river with his peers and chat.
On the day of the accident, Zhang and his friends made an appointment to go fishing and chat in the artificial lake. When he set off, Zhang was delayed because of some things and set off a little late. Seeing that it was time to make the appointment, in order not to delay, Zhang couldn't take care of the traffic lights along the way.
He thought to himself, those cars don't dare to hit anyway, besides, at this point in time, there are few cars and few people on the road. So I ran several red lights in a row.
However, traffic accidents often stem from carelessness. Should I say it or not, this red light Zhang broke through very "smoothly". It was almost the last intersection, Zhang saw a friend who was fishing not far away and waved to him, and when Zhang responded, he stepped forward to pass the last red light intersection.

At this moment, a normal car suddenly failed to brake the car because of the incident and hit Zhang. Zhang was also knocked away because he didn't have time to dodge, and he lost consciousness and fell into a coma on the spot.
At this time, the driver was really frightened, and hurriedly got out of the car to check the situation and dialed the 120 emergency number. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time, and under the rescue of the medical staff, Zhang saved his life.
After investigating at the scene, the traffic police also made a judgment on the accident. The traffic police determined that Zhang was fully responsible for the accident.
But after Zhang's daughter Xiao Zhang learned about it, she thought it was unfair to determine responsibility. She thought that even if her father ran the red light first, shouldn't the driver of the sedan pay attention to the surrounding situation when passing through the intersection and make sure that it was safe to pass through? He was required to compensate his father for medical expenses and mental damages totaling 1 million.
After the trial, the court held that the traffic police had made a correct judgment and rejected all of Xiao Zhang's claims.

Explain the law with cases
The case sparked a lot of public opinion on the Internet at the time. Netizens are discussing the question of "whether the driver should be held responsible for the pedestrian who ran a red light and was hit". To understand this issue, it is necessary to make a concrete analysis in light of laws and regulations.
In this case, Zhang had a traffic accident while running a red light. When Wang was driving, he drove in accordance with traffic regulations, and there was no improper behavior.
The prohibition of pedestrians from running red lights is a rule that has been repeatedly ordered by law. It is an illegal act for pedestrians to run a red light. Pedestrians who run a red light can be sentenced to a verbal warning or a fine of not more than $5 but not more than $50.
Many cities have set up electronic dogs at intersections, which will take pictures of pedestrians running red lights and display personal information on the big screen.
In order to be in a hurry, Zhang ran the red light many times. He took chances and thought he wouldn't get into a traffic accident. As an adult, Zhang is fully capable of predicting the consequences of running a red light. He was also well aware that he was walking at the intersection of a motorway road, which was a great potential danger.
According to Article 60 of the Provisions on the Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Accidents, if a road traffic accident is caused by the fault of one party, the party shall bear full responsibility, and if a road traffic accident occurs due to the fault of two or more parties, it shall bear the primary, equal and secondary responsibilities respectively according to the effect of its actions on the accident and the severity of the fault. If all parties are not at fault, it is a traffic accident and no one is liable.
The owner of the car, Wang, drove normally before the incident. There was neither speeding, nor running a red light. When he reached the intersection, he slowed down, checked his surroundings, and did his duty. At that time, Zhang did not appear on the zebra crossing, and Wang had no way of predicting what would happen next.
After the accident, Wang got out of the car as soon as possible to check the situation and sent Zhang to the hospital for treatment. He took positive measures to buy valuable rescue time for Zhang.
Based on the specific circumstances, the court found that Wang was not liable. Zhang violated traffic rules and should be held responsible for his actions.

The reason why traffic lights are set up is to ensure traffic safety. When pedestrians cross the road, motor vehicles wait for red lights. When a motor vehicle is moving, pedestrians wait for a red light. Road safety can only be guaranteed if everyone consciously obeys the traffic rules.
In recent years, traffic accidents have abound because pedestrians have run red lights. Every accident is a wake-up call for us. We should learn from this and prevent it from getting worse. Instead of being lucky, feeling that the car does not dare to hit people, to run a red light. Challenging the bottom line of safety is irresponsible for oneself and others.
Elderly people like Zhang must be cautious when crossing the street. When the yellow light is on, you should stand still on the zebra crossing until it turns green before crossing the road.
Maybe young people run a red light and have a chance to avoid emergencies (there is no guidance here, just examples for comparison). But the elderly simply don't have that ability to cope. In the event of a traffic accident, it can cause injuries to the muscles and bones, and at worst to lose life. The zebra crossing is our lifeline. We must strictly follow the traffic rules.
