AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)09/15 Report--

According to relevant media reports, Mr. Sun from Jinan came to a Toyota 4S store to test drive a car, but unexpectedly, there was a traffic accident during the test drive. Not only the vehicle was damaged, but also the injured party in the accident asked for a compensation of 8000 yuan. What's going on?

On September 10, Mr. Sun from Jinan came to a Toyota 4S store in the provincial sports center for a test drive after making an appointment.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Sun had an accident in the process of test driving. Mr. Sun collided with a moving electric car, and the driver of the electric car was injured on the spot.

According to Mr. Sun, riding an electric car is an old man, which happens to be a blind spot. When he found the electric car, it was too late to avoid it, so he ran into a test-driving vehicle. At the time of the incident, the electric car hit the left front of the test drive, causing damage to the test drive.

At the same time, Mr. Sun said that the injured was fine, but the injured felt uncomfortable, so he dialed 120 to take the injured to the hospital. fortunately, after careful examination, the old man was fine, but a lot of medical expenses were incurred.

When he saw the damage to the vehicle, Mr. Sun immediately asked the staff if the vehicle was insured, but the staff's reply dumbfounded him. It turned out that what the 4S store gave itself a test drive was not a test drive, but a new car that was not licensed and uninsured.

Mr. Sun said that at that time, the test drive was about to eat, so he wanted to test drive, but he did not expect an accident, and he did not know that the vehicle did not have any insurance. In this regard, Mr. Sun believes that this behavior of the 4S store is wrong, which is like putting the test driver into a dangerous situation where there is no insurance company to pay for the injury suffered by himself or others.

After the incident, the injured claimed a total of 8000 yuan from Mr. Sun for medical expenses and missed work expenses. Mr. Sun found the 4S store to find an explanation, but the idea of the 4S store was difficult for Mr. Sun to accept. Mr. Sun said that the store needs half of the cost to be borne by one person. in addition, the car is also borne by Mr. Sun. The 4S store should not give him a test drive of an uninsured car, and the store should take full responsibility.

In addition, Mr. Sun said he didn't expect to sign the test-drive agreement before the test drive, but it's not clear why the store didn't let him sign it. Then Mr. Sun and the reporter came to the 4S store again to learn about the situation. Due to the absence of the person in charge of Mr. Sun, the store has no right to respond. One of them asked a 4S store staff, can customers test-drive a new car? The other party responded that test driving is usually a test drive, and new cars are rarely used. Sometimes, when the test drive is not there, the customer has to ask for a test drive, so he has no choice but to let him test drive a new car.

In the absence of a test-driving agreement, it was difficult for the two sides to reach an agreement on who should bear the responsibility for the accident. Subsequently, Mr. Sun contacted the person in charge of the incident by phone. as to why he used the new car, the person in charge said that because the test driver ran the show and said that the customer was worried about the test drive, he let Mr. Sun have a test drive without signing the test driving agreement. The person in charge said that they were willing to negotiate with Mr. Sun to assume certain responsibilities.

After negotiation, the person in charge said that for the 8,000 yuan of medical expenses proposed for the injured, Mr. Sun will bear 2,000 yuan, and the 4S store will bear 6,000 yuan. As for the maintenance cost of the new car, the 4S store still needs the company above to discuss how to deal with it.

In response to this issue, the reporter also consulted legal workers. Legal workers said that the injured can request the insured obligor and the driver to bear joint and several liability.

For this incident, it is still necessary to remind consumers that they must sign a test driving agreement before test driving and carefully understand the division of responsibilities.
