I vaguely recall having heard that before of somewhere out in eastern Asia, but I can’t recall where at. I’d be curious to see what that’s about.

  Yes, and the reasoning behind why it’s considered such is also detailed in the link itself. I figured I’d leave that link as a way for folks to read into it and learn where the claim originated from.

That’s not a “life-debt” as much as it’s just regular insurance debt.

The same logic would apply in western countries, but the practice we have make it less likely you’d get away with murder so actually driving over someone to kill them on purpose after an accidental crash isn’t quite as common as in China.

Nothing to do with “saved your life so now I’m now responsible for it”.

  Which is exactly what I wanted to clear up with the Snopes link.
