The driver of a large truck in Kaohsiung had a slight collision without knowing it. The judge found that the vibration was difficult to transmit to the front of the vehicle and revoked the penalty.

A large truck driver in Kaohsiung had a minor collision with a car while driving through Zuoying District last year and then drove away. The police fined him NT$3,000 and suspended his driver's license for one month for "no one was injured in the accident and failed to handle the situation in accordance with regulations." The driver complained aggrievedly and claimed that he "didn't even know there was a collision." After the judge investigated the structure of the large truck and the evidence collection footage, he determined that the vibration of the large truck was "difficult to be transmitted to the front of the vehicle." He accepted the driver's statement and ruled to revoke the original punishment!

The verdict stated that the driver of a large truck surnamed Huang was driving a large commercial truck at the intersection of Cuihua Road and Huarong Road in Zuoying District, Kaohsiung City at around 9:00 pm on September 12 last year when he collided with a car. After the incident, the rearview mirror of the car was damaged. The police determined that the driver had hit and run. The Transportation Bureau imposed a fine of 3,000 yuan in accordance with the "Road Traffic Management Punishment Regulations", suspended the driver's license for one month, and had to undergo road traffic safety training.

The driver refused and filed an administrative lawsuit, saying that it was late at night when the incident occurred and he had no idea that he had hit the other party's rearview mirror. It was not until he received a notification from the police afterwards that he was shocked to realize that the accident had occurred, and immediately took the initiative to contact the other party. The two parties also successfully reached a settlement, emphasizing that he did not escape intentionally.

After the trial, the Kaohsiung High Administrative Court reviewed the video and relevant evidence collected at the scene and found that the force when the two cars collided was very slight. In the picture, the truck's body neither shook nor undulated, nor did it deviate from its original driving route. It can be seen that the collision did not affect the driving trajectory of the truck.

The judge believed that large trucks are large vehicles with "the front and the body are not directly connected." When the body slightly collides with other vehicles, the weak vibrations generated are physically difficult to be directly transmitted to the front of the vehicle. In addition, the perception of collision force by large vehicles is far less sensitive than that of small cars with shorter vehicle lengths. Subjectively, there was no intention to escape. The court ruled to revoke the punishment. Can be appealed.
