Drunk driving
Two days ago, a fan friend sent a private message asking if after a traffic accident occurred, and found that the other driver had been drinking, should he choose to call the police or settle privately? The Guangzhou criminal defense lawyer advised him,The police should be calledAnd why?
First of all, let's be clear about a principle: when a driver is found to be driving drunk, and definitely not the choice of "reconciliation".。Rather, it shouldCall the police immediately**, let ** intervene in the investigation and processing. This is because determining responsibility for an accident is the key to ensuring one's own legitimate rights and interests. Commercial insurance companies usually refuse to compensate for dangerous driving behaviors such as drunk driving, so reporting to the police is a necessary means to protect their own interests.
Secondly,Dealing with a drunk driving accident without permission can lead to even more trouble. In a case accepted by the Yancheng People's Court in Jiangsu Province, for example, the drunk driver paid a sum of compensation to the owner of the car, Zhang, thinking that the matter would be settled. However, the drunk driver later repented and demanded that the compensation be returned. This case teaches us that although on the face of it appears to be a "settlement", such behavior may not be protected by law. Therefore, in the face of drunk driving accidents, we need to be more cautious in dealing with the issue of compensation to avoid getting into a bigger predicament.
Finally, we need to emphasize the importance of "alarming". While it may take more time and effort, there is no reason to compromise or compromise in the face of a major event like a road accident. The safety of everyone's life, health and property is priceless, and we should resolutely protect our rights and interests through legal means.
To sum up, in the face of traffic accidents involving drunk driving, we cannot take chances or covet small profits in front of us. On the contrary, we should maintain a rational, mature and responsible attitude, and resolutely choose to call the police. Only in this way can we truly safeguard the safety and interests of individuals and society as a whole.
