因一位著名匿名网友说根据新西兰法律车祸无论大小都需要在24小时内向警方报警,我贴出新西兰警方官网的链接https://www.police.govt.nz/faq/w ... n-a-minor-car-crash和Land Transport Act 1998里的法律条文https://www.legislation.govt.nz/ ... test/DLM434540.html。只要求在发生有人受伤或者死亡的车祸时才需要在24小时内报警。
那位著名匿名网友也贴出新西兰警方官网链接https://www.police.govt.nz/advic ... als/chinese/driving,一再坚持车祸不论大小都要在24小时内报警。帖子传送门http://bbs.skykiwi.com/forum.php ... &extra=page%3D1
不过在我看来,这位著名匿名网友给我网页更像是给外国人看的一种介绍。而且还有什么能比Land Transport Act 1998的法律条文更正确?无奈那位著名匿名网友就是不信,而且确实都出自新西兰警方官网。我便发信给新西兰警方求证哪个说法是正确的,并问他们如果真的任何车祸不论大小都要在24小时内报警,是哪条法律规定的。对方回复说我引用的链接的说法是正确的,并会对那位著名匿名网友提供的链接的内容进行审查和更新。
官方网站不是金科玉律,特别是在同一个网站内出现相左信息的时候。官方网站上的东西很多,而且经常是通过第三方负责制作网站的人放上去的,我们自己还是要有点判断力。我也发现过Auckland Council的网站上有信息相左的两个网页。有些可能是因为信息过时没有及时更新,有些可能是因为制作网站的人压根就没有弄清楚法律条例。
结论就是无人伤亡的小车祸不需要报警,双方交换信息即可。在发生有人受伤或者死亡的车祸时需要在24小时内报警。

What should I do if I‘ve beem involved in a minoe car crash? After a non-injury crash you should swap names and addresses with other motorists involved. If the crash involved another person's property, such as a fence, you should report it to the owner of the property within 48 hours of the crash. If the owner cannot be located report to police within 60 hours of the crash. All crashes resulting in injury (such as broken bones or a night in hospital) should be reported by calling 105 or visiting your local police as soon as is practicable and no later than 24 hours from the time of the crash.
