Yep, this would be a good sticky candidate if mods had their priorities straight. Gets RIGHT to the point that people are afraid to acknowledge.

That entire story infuriated me while reading it.

Been discussed for years in other forums whenever these awful Chinese traffic accident videos get posted. It's a sick result of their liability laws. From the article:

Most people agree that the hit-to-kill phenomenon stems at least in part from perverse laws on victim compensation. In China the compensation for killing a victim in a traffic accident is relatively small—amounts typically range from $30,000 to $50,000—and once payment is made, the matter is over. By contrast, paying for lifetime care for a disabled survivor can run into the millions. The Chinese press recently described how one disabled man received about $400,000 for the first 23 years of his care. Drivers who decide to hit-and-kill do so because killing is far more economical.
