In Taipei, Taiwan, a man driving through Da'an District collided with a woman riding a bicycle on a pedestrian crossing. While the woman was deemed at fault for 'failing to yield when starting slowly without letting passing vehicles go first', the man was accused of 'not paying attention to front conditions'. Despite the man's complaints about the police favoring those who run red lights, the Traffic Police Brigade stated that bicycles bear greater responsibility based on initial assessments. They advise applying for accident appraisal if doubtful about the initial judgment. The man expressed frustration over the lack of mention of 'running red lights' on the initial report and criticized the police's response to his complaint with explanations about cycling lanes lacking specific signals. Legal professionals suggest requesting an accident appraisal report when disputing initial judgment results.
