WHO WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT?
WER HAT DAS KRAFTFAHRZEUG ZUM UNFALLZEITPUNKT GELENKT?
WHEN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT OCCURS THERE IS OFTEN DOUBT AS TO WHICH SEATING POSITION EACH PASSENGER WAS OCCUPYING AT THE MOMENT OF THE ACCIDENT. FOR REASONS OF INSURANCE LAW THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, PARTICULARLY WHEN SERIOUS OR EVEN FATAL INJURY HAS BEEN SUSTAINED. IT HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY THAT THE SURVIVING DRIVER STATES THAT HIS DEAD PASSENGER HAD BEEN DRIVING. IN ORDER TO GUARD AGAINST THIS OCCURRENCE AND TO REMOVE ALL SHADOW OF DOUBT, IT IS NECESSARY FOR CORONERS AND EXPERTS TO OBTAIN WELL-FOUNDED CLUES AND COLLECT EVIDENCE.
