公路正義 (9/25/2012)

令人髮指:撞死一個年輕學子,賠30萬台幣。事實上賠多少錢都無法換回無辜喪失的寶貴生命。遲遲不來的公路正義,何時才能得到申張?

[聯合報] 回響/柯媽媽籲酒駕以殺人罪論

記者莊宗勳╱台南報導 [9/25/2012]
 
台南市婦人柯蔡玉瓊因車禍喪子,從此化身為「柯媽媽」,催生出汽機車強制責任險;15年過去,台灣的「公路正義」在她眼中仍是千瘡百孔,「政府再不挺身而出,還會有更多柯媽媽出現!」
 前陣子喧騰一時的「葉少爺」事件,再度勾起柯媽媽的傷痛往事。她說,酒駕刑責過低,易科罰金、吊銷駕照,甚至幾萬元就能交保,根本沒有嚇阻作用,「罰金繳完,再買一輛車又能上路,民眾隨時都可能變成下一個柯重宇」。
 
柯重宇是柯媽媽的長子,一九八九年在東海大學企管研究所就讀的他,遭聯結車輾斃。柯蔡玉瓊宛如經歷世界末日,而肇事司機的惡行惡狀讓她發現,「台灣根本沒有公路正義可言」。

當時台灣只有採「過失主義」的「汽車第三人責任險」,被害人家屬得負責舉證,經常求償無門。肇事司機有恃無恐地向柯蔡玉瓊開價30萬元,「要拿不拿隨便妳,反正妳去告也是雞蛋碰石頭 」。
 
柯蔡玉瓊曾想過要肇事司機血債血還,但柯重宇卻在此時進入母親夢中,勸她將報復的心情轉化為催生法案的動力,「請不要悲哀,我的精神會活在您的心中」、「只有立法方能救台灣車難者」。
 
只有國小學歷的柯媽媽連什麼是「立法」都不懂,她組織「車禍受難者救援協會」,每周到國民黨中央黨部、立法院請願,幾度絕食明志,暈倒送醫。最後催生出採「無過失主義」的汽機車強制責任險,證明了一個平凡的家庭主婦也能推動立法。
 
汽機車強制責任險法案實施15年了,今年70歲的柯媽媽仍奔走於中央部會,持續監督汽機車強制責任險的費率問題,「我害大家每年都要多繳一筆錢,當然要站在第一線幫忙把關」。
 
她認為酒駕應改為強制羈押,並以殺人罪論處;而每年她接到很多因路面坑洞車禍身亡的個案,「為什麼花大錢修路,馬路卻還是不平?」多方訪談後發現,原來是工程得標後,經費遭層層苛扣,到了施工單位手上已所剩無幾,為了賺錢只好偷工減料。
 
她沉痛說,政府應重視這個問題,別讓民眾每天身處危險,而且很多人不知道如何聲請國賠,應成立協會協助車禍死者家屬。

「公路正義還有很長的一段路要走」,柯媽媽說,催生出汽機車強制責任險,「這只是一個逗號,而不是句號」。

Hi,

You mentioned you worked in Silicon Valley in your article for few years , that's why I knew it. I read the articles, not just clicked on those for recommendation.

Ha, ha, ha,.....

Great, I will wait and see your photos.

When a country is bullied by another county, the dominating country will do anything for brutality, as ROC passport incident, the others won't say a word regarding justice, because dominating one has more power (or better writting skills, more infatuating female fans supporting in UDN) , it happens to me in UDN as well....

 

Blessing.

Justice in traffic accident

Hi Brother-in-heaven,

I am pround of the mother who lost her eldest son 23 years ( 1989) ago, and agree with her point of view that the accident perpetrators ( 肇事者),even worst were drunk drivers should be sued as a murder.

I personal feel that Taiwan law is too easy to let the perpetrators go free or hardly have any respnsibility & 刑罰.

Thanks for replying my two articles, I didn't see those until today.

Hope you did have a great time on Mid Autumn festival day.

P.S. How long ago did you came back to Taiwan from San Jose ? If it is too personal, you don't have to answer it.

Execuse me to type in English, it's easier for me.

It's completely ok to me that you write the message in English.

How do you know that I was in San Jose (sort of) before returning to Taiwan? I was in bay area quite a few years ago. I will show off some pictures I took in my blogs later, :-).
