Traffic law details driver exemptions in hit-and-run cases
Legal treatments of pedestrian run-over accidents in Jordan have changed after the issuance of recent laws that provide flexibility in determining liability between the driver and the pedestrian. The driver is exempt from responsibility if it is proven that the accident resulted from the victim's behavior, especially if the pedestrians' crossing was non-compliant with the rules. The driver has the right to request an accurate technical report to document the details of the accident, and this report is considered one of the essential pieces of evidence that helps the judiciary identify responsibility. Additionally, the legislation emphasizes that liability is not always on the driver, and pedestrians who are harmed must adhere to traffic crossing rules. This approach aims to promote awareness, fairness in road accidents, and reduce disputes.
