评析我国法律对“道路交通事故”的界定——从案例引发的思考

An Analysis of the Definition of Road Traffic Accident in Road Traffic Safety Law——Thinking from a Case in Traffic Accidents

我国的《道路交通安全法》对道路交通事故进行了界定,但结合具体案例来看,该定义存在着对交通事故的定义过于宽泛,没有对道路交通事故的范围作出明确界定,导致在与《侵权责任法》及相关立法的衔接上存在矛盾,引起司法实践中的混乱等问题。给道路交通事故下定义,应当从车辆、道路、运行、主观、后果等构成要件进行考虑,完善对道路交通事故的界定。

Road Traffic Accident is defined in China＇s Road Traffic Safety Law,but it is too broad,and there are some questions leaving unanswered. For example, it does not clearly define the scope of traffic accident on road. This results in the contradiction with Liability for Tort Law and the relevant legislation in judicial practice. To define the conception of road traffic accident,this paper points out that we should consider the following elements,such as elements of vehicles,roads and road condition,the subjective elements and the elements of consequence so that the definition of road traffic accident can be perfected.
