In many past major vehicle accidents, the victims were almost always killed by being run over twice by the wheels. There were even rumors that sometimes drivers did this intentionally because they thought "it's better to kill someone than to maim them," as this would result in a significant reduction in compensation. Industry insiders also confirmed that drivers in the past did have a similar mentality, but with the widespread use of surveillance cameras, this kind of egregious behavior has gradually disappeared. Lawyers also pointed out that intentionally running over the victim is a more serious crime and results in higher compensation.

Lawyer Liu Yiling of Fidelity Law Firm stated that if the driver intentionally causes a second death to evade compensation, the charge will change from negligent homicide to intentional homicide. The criminal liability will change from the original penalty of imprisonment of up to five years, detention, or a fine of up to NT$500,000 for negligent homicide to the death penalty, life imprisonment, or imprisonment of more than 10 years for homicide. Moreover, the compensation liability will not be reduced as a result.
