The new amended Road Traffic Ordinance came into effect on November 7, 2021. Drivers who hit a cat or dog must stop to allow the injured animal to receive timely treatment, and must provide personal information, including their name and address, to police officers or anyone with reasonable grounds for requesting it. Otherwise, they must report the incident to the police as soon as possible within 24 hours.
Definition of animals
The current definition of animals includes horses, cows, donkeys, mules, sheep, pigs, or goats, and after the amendment takes effect, it will include cats and dogs.
Section 56 of Chapter 374 of the new Road Traffic (Amendment) Ordinance states that if a driver does not stop after an accident, they can be fined $10,000 and imprisoned for 12 months; if they do not provide personal information and do not report the accident to the police within 24 hours, they can be fined $25,000 and imprisoned for six months.
It is hoped that the penalty of license suspension will enhance deterrence and further protect the interests of animals.
Foreign laws regarding hitting animals
UK law stipulates that if a driver hits a horse, cow, donkey, mule, sheep, pig, goat, or dog, they must stop, while deer, badgers, or wolves are not included. The maximum penalty is six months in prison and a fine.
