刑法视域下抢公交车方向盘行为之定性——兼及“重庆公交车坠江事件”司乘冲突类案件的实证研究

The Nature of Seizing Bus Steering Wheel from the Perspective of Criminal Law——An Empirical Study of Cases Concerning Driver-passenger Conflicts such as "Chongqing Bus Crash Incident"

重庆万州公交车坠江案引发了人们对于“司乘冲突”的关注,对于抢夺公交车方向盘案件的处理,在实践中存在较大差异。其中,依照“以危险方法危害公共安全罪”处罚是主流观点。然而,目前通过现有的法律规制途径和相关罪名处理此类案件实在收效甚微。通过暴力的手段妨害驾驶公交车司机的安全,扰乱其正常驾驶活动,借助抢夺公交车方向盘等极其危险的行为以危害公共安全者,应当新增“妨害安全驾驶罪”对其进行处罚。在现有规制标准不一、处理效果不佳的条件下这一罪名可以填补法律缺失,借鉴醉驾入刑的先例,引导公众意识,产生良好的社会效果。

The case of Chongqing Wanzhou bus crashing into the river has aroused people's concern about the "striving conflict". There are big differences in the practice of robbing the steering wheel of the bus. Among them, the punishment according to the crime of endangering public safety by dangerous methods is the mainstream view. However, the current handling of such cases through existing legal regulatory channels and related offences has had little effect. By violent means to impede the personal rights of drivers driving public transport, disrupt the normal driving of public transport, and jeopardize the public safety by robbing the steering wheel, etc., it should be punished by adding "crimes against safe driving". Under the condition that the existing regulatory standards are different and the treatment effect is not good, this measure can fill the lack of law, draw on the precedents of drunk driving, and guide public awareness and produce good social effects.
