Chinese Drivers Intentionally Kill Pedestrians They Hit
From Business Insider to the National Post in Canada, numerous news outlets all across the world have published stories about the horrific phenomenon of drivers in China preferring to “Hit to Kill” than “Hit to “Injure”. You could almost say that in this kind of situation, drivers in China are indeed the worst type of drivers to ever hit the roads. I can’t imagine what would possesses them to be so cruel towards poor pedestrians who were at the wrong place at the wrong time?
Put simply, money is the root of all evil. If a driver hits a pedestrian without killing them, the driver must pay compensation to the pedestrian until they basically die. The Slate gives a perfect example of how much a driver has to compensate if the pedestrian lives to tell the story in court: “one disabled man received about $400,000 for the first 23 years of his care.”
If the pedestrian is killed, the driver only has to “pay once, like a burial fee” and that only ranges from $30,000 to $50,000 in compensation. Horrifying, I know.
The top 3 causes of mortality in China are strokes, coronary heart diseases and road injuries. Another disturbing fact is that nearly half of suicides around the world take place in China and India. The mortal road incidents in China are backed up by security camera footage of drivers that intentionally drive to kill and tons of it. Furthermore, some drivers happen to put their cars into reverse then run over the poor pedestrian to make certain that the injured pedestrian never lives to tell their side of the story.
