In Hefei City, a recent traffic accident attracted widespread attention and became a hot topic. The cause of this incident was a traffic accident involving a retrograde electric car driver who fell on his own. A black SUV that was traveling normally did not come into contact with the electric car. However, it was ruled to be a minor liability. . The verdict raised questions about the impartiality of traffic law enforcement, and also touched on the complexity of family disputes and the division of responsibilities. The following is a detailed account of the incident.

The time of the accident was fixed on December 10. At that time, a 70-year-old man was riding an electric bicycle in the opposite direction and suddenly fell down while turning at a T-junction. The mother of a driver said at the time that the old man was driving against the road, and when her son (the driver) was about to turn right, the old man suddenly fell down and the driver got out of the car to help him. However, the old man pestered the driver and asked him to take responsibility.

video shows that there is a clear distance between the electric car and the black SUV, and there is no contact between the two. According to common sense, the old man's fall is not directly related to the black SUV. However, the traffic police ruled that the driver of the black SUV bore minor liability. When the driver raised objections to this, the traffic police brigade said: Traffic accidents do not necessarily require physical contact to occur, and the specific circumstances cannot be disclosed.

This ruling has aroused widespread concern and doubts in society. First of all, the driver of the electric vehicle was driving against the law and was at fault; secondly, the driver of the black SUV was driving according to the correct traffic rules, at a moderate speed, and slowed down when turning. The distance between the two was quite far, and the old man’s fall had nothing to do with him. direct relationship; finally, the driver of the black SUV took the initiative to get out of the car and help the old man. This kind of behavior is really rare in today's society, and it is obviously inappropriate to impose the responsibility on him.

However, the complexity of this accident goes far beyond that. After arriving at the scene, the family members of the old man not only did not express their gratitude, but instead emphasized that the driver should bear the cost of the surgery. The involvement of this family dispute makes the whole incident even more confusing. The identification of liability has expanded from simple traffic accident determinations to family responsibilities and financial compensation, making fair judgment more difficult.

Should you help an elderly person who has fallen? It has always been a controversial topic.

1. Moral Responsibility: From a moral perspective, many people believe that we should try our best to help those in need, including the elderly who have fallen. In this case, lifting the old man up is an expression of basic human moral responsibility.

2. Legal liability: However, some people worry that helping an elderly person may lead to them being mistaken for the cause of their fall, and thus being held legally responsible. While this may not be common, it is certainly a factor to consider.

3. Personal safety: Before deciding whether to lift an elderly person, you also need to consider your own safety. If you are unstable yourself, trying to lift the elderly person may result in injury to both of you.

4. Expertise: If you do not have appropriate medical or first aid knowledge, you may worsen the injury. In this case, it is best to call emergency personnel immediately and let them be handled by professionals.

In general, whether to help an elderly person who has fallen down or not depends on the specific situation and your personal judgment. But no matter what, we should try to help, whether by lifting the elderly person or through other means, such as calling emergency personnel.
