Interpretation of Article 72 of the Road Traffic Safety Law

This article is about the regulations on the on-site handling of traffic accidents by the traffic management department of the public security organ. The *** is divided into three sections. The first section stipulates on-site emergency response; the second section stipulates the collection of evidence for traffic accidents; and the third section stipulates the specifications for professional inspections. We will explain these three contents separately.

Paragraph 1: After receiving the alarm, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall go to the scene to handle the traffic accident emergency.

Field inspection. On-site investigation is the basis of traffic accident handling. It is of great significance for comprehensively analyzing the cause of the accident, accurately determining the accident liability, and preparing penalties and damage compensation. Traffic police must conduct on-site inspections comprehensively, carefully and in accordance with the law. They must strictly implement the technical standards for on-site inspections issued by the Ministry of Public Security, namely "Inspection of Traces and Evidence of Road Traffic Accidents", "Inspection and Photography of Road Traffic Accident Sites" and "Road Traffic Accident Inspection and Photography". Traffic Accident Scene Mapping".

When investigating the scene, the investigators must take photos, videos and other methods to fix and fix the key traces that can reflect the cause of the accident and determine the nature of the accident, as well as the shape, location and size of the thrown objects. Extract, completely reflect its full picture and truthfully record the objective environment of the accident site; after the investigation, you should promptly check whether the textual expressions and data of the investigation records such as site maps and on-site investigation transcripts are consistent to prevent errors.

When investigating an accident site at night or under weather conditions with low visibility such as rain, fog, sand and dust, the survey vehicles should be equipped with obvious warning signs; personnel surveying the site must wear survey work clothes to ensure that the site and the safety of surveyors. Ordinary roads must be 30 meters or 50 meters away from the scene, and highways should be equipped with battery warning lights, reflective cones and other luminous or reflective warning and guidance signs 50 meters or 100 meters away from the scene, and demarcate a safety zone to prevent Passing vehicles enter the scene and cause danger.

It needs to be emphasized that parties involved in traffic accidents have the right to view the traffic accident scene map drawn by the traffic police. When viewing the scene map, the parties should pay attention to whether the location of the scene is accurate and whether the data on the parking location of the vehicle is accurate. Accurate, whether there is braking distance, whether the starting point and end point position and data of the braking drag are accurate, whether there is contact orientation, whether the position of the human body is lying and whether the relationship with the vehicle is accurate, whether there is any labeling of scattered objects, etc. If the location is inappropriate or the data is inaccurate, you have the right to request a re-examination.

Another content of the second paragraph of this article is to give the traffic management department of the public security organ the power to temporarily impound motor vehicles involved in accidents. The temporary impoundment of the accident vehicle must be for the purpose of collecting accident evidence, otherwise it shall not be temporarily impounded. When the traffic management department of the public security organ temporarily impounds a vehicle involved in an accident, it must issue a "Road Traffic Accident Temporary Impound Voucher" to the party concerned, which must specify the period of temporary impoundment and the storage location of the impounded vehicle. According to the "Measures for Handling Road Traffic Accidents", the temporary detention period shall not exceed 20 days.

Paragraph 3 of this article stipulates special provisions for more professional examinations of the physical and mental conditions of the parties. For these highly professional inspections, the "Road Traffic Safety Law" requires the traffic management department of the public security organ to entrust a specialized agency to conduct appraisals, and stipulates that the appraisal conclusion should be signed by the appraiser.

In order to standardize the disability assessment of injured persons involved in traffic accidents, in 1992, the Ministry of Public Security formulated and issued the industry standard "Disability Assessment of Injured Persons in Road Traffic Accidents" (GA35?92). The disability referred to in this standard refers to the human disability caused by road traffic accident injuries, including abnormalities in mental, physiological functions and anatomical structures, as well as varying degrees of loss of the ability to live, work and social activities. According to the provisions of this standard, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall assign or hire personnel with specialized knowledge in accordance with the law to conduct the assessment of disability in road traffic accidents. The standards require that the assessor must have a professional title of forensic physician or above and be an accident handler with knowledge and experience in disability assessment. It should be said that the inspection of general limb and organ disabilities of parties involved in traffic accidents only requires certain professional knowledge and experience in handling traffic accidents. These tasks can be established by the public security and traffic management department in accordance with the law. The responsibility is borne by staff members of institutions specializing in the assessment of the disability of persons injured in road traffic accidents. However, for complex injuries in terms of physical and mental conditions, the accident disability assessment agency established by the traffic management department of the public security organ is generally not competent, and it is necessary to rely on professional authoritative organizations and senior people in society to conduct appraisals.

This will not only increase the authority and credibility of the appraisal conclusion and reduce the probability of re-evaluation, but also effectively utilize social resources to participate in traffic accident handling technical work.
