试乘试驾的交通事故责任研究

Study on Liability for Traffic Accident during Test-drive and Test-ride

针对涉事各方如何承担试乘试驾所引起的道路交通事故责任,我国民法学界和各级地方法院并无统一的看法。首先,由于道路交通事故所涉主体和驾驶车辆之方式对责任的分配有重大影响,因此有必要区分单方事故与双方事故、试乘与试驾,进而类型化为试乘引发单方事故、试驾引发单方事故、试乘引发双方事故、试驾引发双方事故四种情形,并分别探讨各情形下的法律适用与试乘试驾者、汽车经销商的责任承担问题。其次,汽车经销商在试乘试驾活动中往往存在过错,其作为试乘试驾活动的组织者,依法负有安全保障义务,包括审核、测试义务,适车义务,提供合适的试驾场地、选择合适的试驾路线的义务,介绍、指导、防范义务和签订《试乘试驾协议》义务。

Chinese Civil Law theory circle and people' s courts have no consensus of methods to identify liability for traffic accidents during test - drive and test - ride. Given subjects in accidents and their ways of driving would have significant impact on identification of liability, it is essential to distinguish between unilateral accident and bilateral accident, test ride and drive, and then combine each other into unilateral accident caused by test ride, or unilateral accident caused by test drive, or bilateral accident caused by test ride, or bilateral accident caused by test drive. Generally, auto dealerships have faults for accidents during test -ride and test-drive. According to Tort Law of the People's Republic of China, auto dealerships, being the organizers, shall bear security obligations, which include checking and testing the test drivers, ensuring the vehicle is suitable for driving,providing a suitable site, selecting a appropriate route, providing safety guidance and signing an agreement on test - drive and test -ride.
