Truck forces way through parked cars - GIF

It may be correct that 2 wrongs don't make a right. But we do not know WHERE that occurred, and what their standards are. There are many places where that car driver would be found at fault. We cannot always use our point of view to pass judgement on other societies. We cannot even do that between different schools of thought in our own country (USA here).

I have spent a lot of time in the Caribbean, not in resorts, but in the real countryside doing mission work. They look at things some thing totally different. One night late, dark road, no street lights, etc. One of our workers was coming back from visiting a family, delivering some food. On the way back he hit a cow that had wondered out onto the road. Severely injured the cow, it had to be killed, damaged the pick-up truck, etc. The man who owned the cow was actually fined for allowing his cow to be in the road at night. His family lost their only cow and was ordered to pay for damages to our truck. Which would have been impossible as they already had nothing but the cow. He would have been sent to jail to "pay off the debt".

We did not allow that to happen. When it went to court, we told the judge that the truck had already been damaged and that he did not owe us anything for repairs. We also paid his $50 fine and got them another cow.

We knew that our driver had a tendency to drive too fast...
