    When I first went out to Africa in the 70s, my boss said to me 'If you hit anyone out in the bush, better to back up and make sure they're dead'. Fortunately I never had the need to check. I do know personally of two incidents where a vehicle knocked down a pedestrian close to a village, and the locals tried to lynch the driver. Once in Ethiopia and once in Nigeria.

    I've heard the stories that it is cheaper to pay for a funeral than for long term hospital/disability care but I don't really believe that it happens much at all. You would think that as much as people claim it happens that someone would have screwed up by now and got themselves on camera backing over someone to finish the person off.

    I don't think those things are as common in the Philippines. Filipinos are heavy on social media and the videos would be passed around and people would flip out. The victim's family would have evidence of who killed their loved one and charges would be brought against them.....and if charges weren't brought against the driver the family would likely have the driver killed in retaliation. The only people I could see getting away with this type of thing are the rich....and they are a very small minority of drivers in the Philippines.
