Is it considered a hit and run if you hit a small animal such as a cat or a dog while driving, regar

Driving into a small animal such as a cat or dog and driving away directly is not a hit-and-run, but it is not a very good person in character. And there is a high risk of causing traffic accidents, and it is better to dispose of the animal carcass.

I think it must be counted, unless it is a stray cat, it must be the property of a person, so it can constitute an escape.

I think so, because these animals generally have owners and belong to other people's property.

Summary. According to Article 119 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, a traffic accident refers to "an incident in which a vehicle causes personal or property damage due to fault or accident on the road." In other words, if the small animal hit has an owner, then the driver has obviously caused damage to the property of others, and if the driver leaves the scene at this time, it can be considered as an escape after a traffic accident.

But for ownerless critters, it's not a traffic accident.

Hello, please wait a moment while I take a look at your question.

Hello, this does not require formal responsibility.

According to Article 119 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, a traffic accident refers to "an incident in which a vehicle causes personal or property damage due to fault or accident on the road." In other words, if the small animal hit has an owner, then the driver has obviously caused damage to the property of others, and if the driver leaves the scene at this time, it can be considered as an escape after a traffic accident. But for ownerless critters, it's not a traffic accident.

If the cat has an owner, you may be subject to civil liability.

Legal analysis: crushing the driver of a pet dog to leave is not considered a hit-and-run, and China's law clearly stipulates that it is counted as hitting a person. At present, China's law stipulates that pet dogs are the property of human beings, so such behavior infringes on the property of others. It is necessary to regret and compensate for the loss.

Legal basis: Article 133 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China Whoever violates the regulations on the administration of transportation and thus causes a major accident causing serious injury or death to a person or causing major losses to public or private property shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or short-term detention; Where a person escapes after causing a traffic accident or has other especially heinous circumstances, a sentence of between three and seven years imprisonment is to be given; Whoever causes death as a result of escape shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than seven years.

If the dog hit by the driver is a stray dog, it does not constitute a traffic accident; If the dog is hit by a manager or owner, it is a hit-and-run if the dog is killed and then escapes, and a fine of not less than 200 yuan but not more than 2,000 yuan will generally be imposed.

Article 99 of the Road Traffic Safety Law provides that anyone who commits any of the following acts shall be fined not more than 200 yuan or 2,000 yuan by the traffic management department of the public security organ: (1) Driving a motor vehicle without obtaining a motor vehicle driver's license, having a motor vehicle driver's license revoked, or driving a motor vehicle during the period when the driver's license has been suspended; (2) Leaving a motor vehicle to be driven by a person who has not obtained a motor vehicle driver's license or whose motor vehicle driver's license has been revoked or temporarily detained; (3) Fleeing after causing a traffic accident that does not constitute a crime; (4) The motor vehicle is driving more than 50% of the speed of the collapse key at the specified time; (5) Forcing a motor vehicle driver to drive a motor vehicle in violation of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and requirements for safe driving of motor vehicles, causing a traffic accident, which does not constitute a crime; (6) Forcibly passing in violation of traffic control regulations and refusing to heed dissuasion;

Lawyer's analysis: Generally speaking, wild cats, wild dogs, mice, birds and other animals without owners are not considered traffic accidents after being hit by a vehicle; However, poultry, livestock, pets and other animals with owners belong to the property of the animal owner, and after being injured or killed, it leads to the loss of the owner's rented property, which is generally a traffic accident. After a traffic accident, if the driver deliberately runs away, it will be considered a hit-and-run.

However, some animals were hit, and the incident happened so suddenly that the driver didn't even have time to see it clearly, and it was difficult to judge whether it had an owner or not. Therefore, in a similar situation, it is best to report to the police for the record and explain what happened so as not to be identified as a hit-and-run. As for the liability for accidents, such incidents rarely divide the responsibility for the source of the accident and change the source, and are generally recognized as accidents, and as for compensation, it is generally negotiated or mediated.

Sometimes, the driver compensates the owner of the animal; But there are also times when the damage to the vehicle is heavier and the owner of the animal also has to compensate the driver.
