Every year in our country there are about 200 000 accidents.Unfortunately, about 10% of cases, the perpetrator of the accident, knocking the man or just hooking at low speed another car trying to leave quickly in order to avoid responsibility.In addition, 5% of hiding under the notice of the insured event, reported false information about the causes of damage to the car.What will happen if the driver fled the accident scene?The penalty for such an act will depend on many factors, but mostly administrative responsibility can not be avoided.
Problematic issue
The majority of people hurting other people's cars, hiding from the scene.And if this still has not been seen, then the temptation to go very increases.STSI also not very interested in finding the culprit, since it is virtually impossible.
According to lawyers, the traffic police will actively look for the driver only when the people have suffered or accident led to the death of a citizen (citizens).When your car just slightly crushed, the chances of finding the culprit is almost zero.
Frames responsibility
If the driver fled the accident scene, he could face administrative liability.However, the offender shall bear the punishment only, of course, subject to the determination of his personality.The victim may still receive compensation for the damage to life and health insurance under the policy and without the involvement of the perpetrator to justice.
accident - this incident, which arose in the course of the road vehicle and with its participation in which people are injured or killed, damaged cars, buildings, cargo, or have other material damage.
often happens, and so that the driver, becoming responsible for the accident, violates the requirements of traffic rules, which state that in this case you must stop and will not move from the scene.If such does not fulfill the requirements of the driver, then he is at best threatened deprivation of rights, and at worst - the arrest of up to 15 days.When people fled the accident scene, the punishment will always be harder than if he had stayed before the arrival of traffic police officers.
Litigation
Quite often, the inspector wrongly classifies an offense committed by the driver and therefore attracts him to account for the more serious offense than he did.What is it can be a situation and how to appeal his actions?It is, for example, can indicate in the report that the driver fled the accident scene, but in fact not all cases, its validity can be so qualified.
However, the inspector can prove the error and thus win the case.You can try to reduce the amount of the fine, or even achieve a complete exemption from liability.It also happens that the drivers do not suffer from the inspector and fraud by other drivers who unjustly accuse them of causing damage.
algorithm of actions for accident
How to behave yourself an accident?
- necessary to stop immediately, turn on warning lights, put a warning triangle and move things that are relevant to the incident.
- If there are victims, it is necessary to provide first aid and urgent cause "first aid", and in extreme cases they should take me to the hospital on his car (to catch a ride), and then return to the scene of an accident.
- If necessary, you need to release the roadway.
- Record the names and addresses of witnesses, and recorded the following items that relate to the incident.
- call the police and wait for law enforcement officers.
Much worse when the perpetrator fled the accident scene.Leave after the accident, of course, for different reasons: fear, confident that no one has seen this, and so on. D. However, in this case the driver deprives himself of hope for an objective and complete investigation of all the details of the accident and the possibility to gather evidence at the scene.There is also a risk that the bystanders describe the situation is not like it was in fact distort events.But if the driver then changed his mind and admits his guilt, the likelihood that he will remain unpunished, very scanty.
leniency
Stay on the scene is necessary for two reasons.The driver in a timely manner will help the victim (victims) and operative cause "first aid".Delivery to hospital in the future will be important in determining the degree of fault of the driver.But if a citizen fled the accident scene, punishment awaits him most severe.
At the same time will not be considered to escape from the scene of the accident situation, when its originator alone can not help, and leaves the accident scene to call the police and medical assistance.Of great importance in the characterization of an act is the severity of injuries that the victim received.
Criminal liability
bring the perpetrators of the accident to criminal liability only in the event of damage to the victim's health moderate or serious harm or death.If all of these negative consequences have occurred as a direct result of that the driver left the scene, the culprit can be sentenced to up to three years imprisonment and deprived of authority to engage in certain activities.
That is criminal liability is possible under such circumstances:
- presence of guilt;
- causing citizen (citizens) damage of medium gravity, serious injury or death.
If a person fled the accident scene, the penalty for this will depend on the severity of consequences.When the driver's actions did not fall under Article 264 of the Criminal Code, he will bear administrative responsibility.In this case, you may be debarred for a period of 1 to 1.5 years, or arrest for 15 days.
Even if blame for the accident the other person, and a passing driver saw it, he could call the police and help, but did not do so, it also have the right to prosecute in administrative proceedings.
at the scene must also remain to assist the police in investigating the case.All your explanations, action on finding witnesses, eyewitnesses, comments, participate in the inspection of the scene of the accident and in the preparation of legal documents can then only play in your favor.But if the offender fled the accident scene, it's all just complicated.
How to prove his innocence?
If you get in a traffic accident, even if all the facts about your involvement in the incident, the case, in some cases you can win.To do this is to try to prove the committed procedural irregularities in securities.
Why is this done?Approved documents violations may result in the exclusion of documents IDPS from the evidence in your case.By compiling these securities are set fairly strict rules.If a person fled the scene of an accident, liability can be mitigated with significant errors and inaccuracies in the design of the protocol.If their identification documents IDPS can try to recognize the inadmissible evidence, and thus "break up" the case.
At the same time it is necessary to interview witnesses, Inspector, witnesses, find contradictions in their evidence and to point out the violation of the law.
Appeal affixing
As we mentioned, if the violation does not impose a fine.I fled the accident scene - be prepared to lose the rights or to serve 15 days.Fines of up to 1,000 rubles put only in the event that traffic violations have been established in connection with the traffic accident, but the driver did not leave after the offense.However, if you are deprived of rights, you can appeal the court stamped.
Important
Note that drivers are forbidden to drink alcohol (drugs and so on. D.) After the accident.If he ignores such claims, he, again, can be punished.On the basis of the Administrative Code You may be required to pay a fine of up to 30 000, and to deprive the rights of 1.5 to 2 years.It is therefore important not only to leave the scene, but did not drink alcohol, it is only to your advantage.
Results
If the driver fled the scene of an accident, the consequences can be very different, but the most adverse outcome - criminal liability.With slight damage to a parked car you might hardly find and appoint a punishment, but if there are casualties, then go unnoticed would be extremely difficult.
