Electric vehicles have become more and more popular in recent years, and their environmental protection and energy-saving characteristics have become the first choice of many consumers. However, during the use of electric vehicles, accidents may occur due to various reasons. So, who is solely responsible when an electric vehicle collides with other vehicles or pedestrians?
In this article, the lawyer will introduce in detail the 16 situations in which the driver of the electric vehicle should bear full responsibility.
1.When an electric vehicle violates the regulations of a traffic light, whether it is running a red light, crossing a line, etc., it will cause the electric vehicle to bear full responsibility. Because according to traffic rules, the indication of traffic lights is the basis for the passage of vehicles and pedestrians, and any violation of traffic light regulations is illegal.
2.When an electric vehicle is driving on a non-motorized road, it is fully responsible for the damage caused by a collision with other vehicles or pedestrians. The driving speed on non-motorized lanes is relatively slow and the visibility is relatively good, so electric vehicle drivers should pay extra attention to avoid collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians.
3.The driver of an electric vehicle should be fully responsible for driving an electric vehicle after drinking alcohol, regardless of whether he exceeds the drunk driving standard. Drunk driving has a high risk factor and is easy to cause traffic accidents, so the law punishes all such behaviors with full responsibility.
4.If an accident occurs when an electric vehicle driver uses a mobile phone, headphones, or other equipment that affects safe driving, the electric vehicle driver shall be fully responsible. The use of mobile phones or headphones can distract drivers, reduce their ability to judge traffic situations, and make them prone to accidents.
5.If an electric vehicle is converted into a motor vehicle and is not registered and filed in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the driver of the electric vehicle shall bear full responsibility in the event of an accident. Because illegal modifications may lead to poor performance of electric vehicles, increasing the probability of accidents.
6.When an electric vehicle is driving on the highway, it should be fully responsible. According to the laws of our country, electric vehicles are not allowed to enter the highway, so if an electric vehicle driving on the highway has an accident, the full responsibility is borne by the driver.
7.Electric vehicle drivers who exceed the speed limit on the road should be fully held responsible, no matter how much they exceed the speed limit. Speeding is a very dangerous behavior that can easily lead to traffic accidents, so the law clearly stipulates it.
8.If the electric vehicle is not equipped with reflective equipment such as lights as standard in accordance with the regulations, and an accident occurs at night or in a foggy day, the driver of the electric vehicle shall bear full responsibility. The absence of reflective devices can make the EV much less likely to be spotted by other vehicles or pedestrians at night or in foggy days. 、
9.The driver of an electric vehicle driving an electric vehicle without a driving license or without passing the annual inspection shall bear full responsibility in the accident. These electric vehicles have not been legally inspected and registered, and there are some safety hazards when they are used, which are easy to cause accidents.
10.The driver of an electric vehicle shall be fully responsible in the event of an accident involving an overcrowded electric vehicle. Overcrowding will overload the electric vehicle, resulting in a decrease in the stability of the vehicle and prone to accidents such as rollovers.
11.If the driver of the electric vehicle does not follow the prescribed lane and collides in the normal driving process of other vehicles, the driver of the electric vehicle shall bear full responsibility. Unless there is a good reason, electric vehicles should follow the prescribed lanes.

If the driver fails to yield or avoid a pedestrian in accordance with the regulations, he shall bear full responsibility in the event of a collision with a pedestrian. When driving on the road, electric vehicles should respect the rights and interests of pedestrians and ensure the safety of pedestrians.
13.If the driver of an electric vehicle does not use the turn signal to turn in accordance with the regulations during driving, the driver of the electric vehicle shall be fully responsible in the event of a collision. The turn signal is a signal during the passage of vehicles, and the lack of turn signal indication is easy to misunderstand other vehicles and cause accidents.
14.If the driver of the electric vehicle does not control the speed according to the regulations when going up and down the slope, the driver of the electric vehicle shall bear full responsibility in the event of an accident. Driving uphill and downhill will affect the stability of electric vehicles, and if the speed is not mastered well, it is easy to cause accidents.
15.If the driver of an electric vehicle is driving in the wrong direction on the road, the driver of the electric vehicle shall be fully responsible in the event of an accident. Illegal driving in the wrong direction can easily lead to traffic congestion and dangerous situations, so wrong-way driving behavior should be cracked down.
16.If an electric vehicle driver escapes after a traffic accident, if caught, the electric vehicle driver should be fully responsible. Escape is an irresponsible behavior, and after involving a traffic violation, you should stop in time and cooperate with the relevant treatment.
To sum up, the driver of the electric vehicle should bear full responsibility in 16 cases of electric vehicles. Whether it is illegal operation, passive response or illegal behavior, it will cause immeasurable harm to the safety of others' lives and property. Therefore, every one of our electric vehicle drivers should consciously abide by traffic laws and regulations, enhance traffic safety awareness, and achieve safe driving and civilized travel.
