法院对交通事故认定书的审查路径探究——以交通肇事罪的认定为视角

On the Court’s Review of the Traffic Accident Confirmation Letter—Taking the Identification of Traffic Accident Crime as the Perspective

摘要: 在交通肇事罪的认定中，法院对交通事故认定书近乎“免审”，这极可能损害交通肇事罪认定的程序正义及实体正义。因此，必须加强对作为证据的交通事故认定书的司法审查，排除不具有证据资格的交通事故认定书。同时，必须以刑法规定的定罪标准对交通事故认定书进行实质审查，确定其是否具有证明力，从而避免将交通违法行为错误地升格为交通肇事罪。

Abstract: In the determination of the crime of traffic accident, the court’s determination of the traffic accident is almost “exempt from trial”, which is very likely to damage the procedural justice and substantive justice of the crime of traffic accident. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the judicial examination of the traffic accident confirmation as evidence, and exclude the traffic accident confirmation that is not qualified for evidence. At the same time, we must substantially examine the identification of the traffic accident with the conviction standard stipulated in the criminal law to determine whether it has the probative power, so as to avoid wrongly upgrading the traffic violation to the crime of traffic accident.
