after the video was released, it sparked heated discussions among netizens. some netizens said: "the driver drove over the person at the request of the other party, and he is absolutely not responsible." another netizen said that running over someone and pushing him down was intentional injury. another netizen said: "one deliberately drove forward, and the other deliberately stretched his legs forward, so each bears half of the responsibility."

so, what kind of legal responsibility should the two parties involved bear? on september 11, a reporter from jingshi live contacted wu xingjian, a lawyer from hubei chisheng law firm. lawyer wu said that according to the video circulated on the internet, although the driver drove over the man under the provocation of the man, the driver committed intentional injury. the legal responsibility faced by the driver needs to be determined based on the injury of the injured man. if the injury is minor or above, the driver may be suspected of intentional injury and bear criminal responsibility; if the injury is minor, the driver may violate article 43 of the "public security administration punishment law" and be subject to corresponding administrative penalties for beating others or intentionally injuring others.

lawyer wu said that because the man only provoked and did not intentionally hurt anyone, he does not bear legal responsibility. "but the man was at fault. in this case, the driver's responsibility can be reduced, but it cannot be exempted from all responsibility." lawyer wu said that since this case is a public security case caused by a civil dispute, if the two parties reach a mediation agreement and implement it, the driver can be exempted from public security punishment. in addition, lawyer wu also reminded that if you encounter a similar situation, the two parties can negotiate first. if the negotiation fails, you can call the police to deal with it. don't act on impulse.
