Forums > Living in Kunming > Crazy car accident

From experience, but not wanting to disagree with people's useful comments, I have to say that unfortunately the illegality of the other drivers actions don't matter at all. As per my scenario the fact that the passenger was an illegal passenger meant nothing and we were still liable for her costs. Its crazy but its the way it works. I would really advise, as before, to forget about campaigning against the injustices of it. The insurance company will cover most things so don't worry.

As for the consulate, again I did enquire regarding this but was told that the incident was too small for them to take any part in. They will only get involved with major breaches of law, all they can do for this is to recommend a lawyer. I'm sure this case will be the same. That said, mentioning that I would be contacting my embassy seemed to intimidate the other party somewhat, so would be worth saying even if not following up.

But agreed, all you should suffer from is wasted time, a little bit of wasted money which should be re-couped from insurance on settlement and many unpleasant phone-calls trying to come to some kind of agreement. We were advised that if they refuse to settle and insist on silly compensation, just tell them to take you to court, you won't lose any more, it'll just drag it out. But understand that the court will just enforce the decision of the traffic police rather than adjusting blame, or even considering the death threats made, and then insurance will pay out.
