🚗 [Traffic Society] Ran for nothing! Migrant worker fears drunk driving after collision, flees, tests 0 for alcohol 3 hours later, and gets a hit-and-run ticket instead.

A rather comical traffic accident occurred in Taichung! A Vietnamese migrant worker, after being involved in a car crash, feared that his alcohol consumption the previous night might lead to a failed breathalyzer test. Out of guilt, he abandoned his vehicle and fled. Unexpectedly, the final test results rendered his actions futile, and he ended up receiving a ticket for fleeing the scene. 📌 Case Summary: Incident Details: Yesterday, around 4 PM, a 31-year-old Vietnamese migrant worker named Vu was driving an SUV in Nantun District, Taichung. While changing lanes to avoid a stopped vehicle ahead, he inadvertently collided with an SUV driven by a 35-year-old woman named Peng. Risky Escape: After the accident, Vu did not stay at the scene to handle the situation. Instead, he opened his car door and fled on foot. During his escape, he crossed lanes and narrowly avoided being hit by an oncoming vehicle, leaving onlookers stunned. Futile Effort: The police later summoned Vu to the station. Around 7 PM last night, he arrived to provide his statement, admitting that he had drunk alcohol the previous night and fled because he feared he would exceed the legal blood alcohol limit. However, when the police administered the breathalyzer test, his blood alcohol content was 0! Violation and Penalty: Although he was not driving under the influence, Vu's act of abandoning his vehicle and fleeing was a clear violation. The police ultimately issued him a citation under Article 62, Paragraph 1 of the Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act for "fleeing the scene of an accident without injury or death." 💡 Editor's Note: In the event of a traffic accident, always stay at the scene and report it to the police! Fleeing out of guilt, as in this case, not only creates a dangerous situation but also results in the charge of hit-and-run, which is truly not worth the trouble! 🗣️ Discussion Time for RtiTalk Readers: Reading news like this "counterproductive" incident really makes one break out in a cold sweat.
