In China, there are laws put in place that make it actually cheap to kill a person with a car than kill them. When someone is killed, the accused pays a series of fees that amounts to approximately $30,000. But if they injure someone, the law indicates the victim has to be taken care of for life, which can cost millions.

"“The Chinese press recently described how one disabled man received about $400,000 for the first 23 years of his care. Drivers who decide to hit-and-kill do so because killing is far more economical. Indeed, Zhao Xiao Cheng—the man caught on a security camera video driving over a grandmother five times—ended up paying only about $70,000 in compensation"

BMW driver ran over a 2 year old girl. The Grandmother yelled "Stop! You hit a child". However, the BMW backed up over the girl again and then a 3rd time to make sure she was dead. The driver then left the vehicle and then attempted to make a deal with the family members. “Don’t say that I was driving the car,” the driver said.“Say it was my husband. We can give you money.”
As the report notes, getting out of murder charges is also pretty easy in China. Drivers are confident they can bribe local officials or hire a lawyer to get out of murder charges.

So let say that was part of your countries law where you had to take care of someone for life if you ran them over. Would you take care of them or make sure they were dead?
