I was talking to my friend about car and pedestrian accidents. She told me that if a driver hit a pedestrian then driver will go to jail even it wasn't/isn't driver's fault.
I have hard time to believe this. If a girl was running across the street and the driver just found out and tried his/her best to stop the car as she/he can.
The girl's parents SHOULD watch her and find the way to prevent her from walking across the street. It isn't the driver fault.
I understand that the driver should go to jail if he/she hit the girl on purpose but that's not what I was trying to say.
So I try to look up at google.com to check the law relate to pedestrian accidents. Most of websites I found is explaining to me about how people got accidents form cars.. That isn't what I was looking for.
I just want to know if it isn't true that every driver go to jail for hitting someone on street or so.
If my friend is right.. I'm not going to drive a car again.
